For Surfshark’s Birthday, It’s Giving You A Gift: 87% Off Its Top-Tier VPN

Typically you don’t get other people presents when it’s your birthday, but Surfshark is anything but typical. Launched in April of 2018, the company is celebrating a lucky seven years in business with a deep discount on their VPN plans, with monthly service as low as $1.99. If you’re not using a virtual private network, it’s time to switch over. Not only do they provide protection from tracking and data collection, but they also let you camouflage your location to interact with region-restricted content. Surfshark is one of our favorite options, and at this price, it’s a no-brainer.

Surfshark offers three tiers of service, all of which are discounted during the birthday sale. Surfshark Starter is the baseline package at $1.99 a month (typically $4.98) when you commit to a two-year subscription, with unlimited VPN access as well as the company’s Alternative ID, which lets you create a false identity that obscures your personal information like age, location and email address. You can also add an Alternative Number for a burner phone to avoid spam and scam calls.

The mid-range offering, Surfshark One, gives you all of the above plus Surfshark’s in-house antivirus software to make sure you don’t pick up anything sketchy while you’re browsing anonymously, as well as the ability to send you alerts when your personal information is discovered in data breaches. That plan costs $2.49 a month on sale (typically $14.99), again with a 24 month commitment.

Finally, the highest-end personal plan is Surfshark One+, which adds data removal by Incogni. That allows you to selectively purge the information that companies are holding about you from their databases on request, as well as allowing you to remove your personal info from those annoying “people search” sites. Surfshark One+ costs $3.99 a month with a 24 month commitment (typically $20.65). All three of these offers also give you three free months of whichever service you pick.

In our review of Surfshark’s VPN service, our experts said that it delivered on everything we want from a VPN: “unlimited device connections, tons of servers around the globe, speedy downloads, and excellent mobile apps.” We were most impressed by the fact that the company maintains servers in over 100 countries for diverse location spoofing, as well as faster connection to your true location. Our only caveat was the subscription price, but this sale solves that problem.
