This app causes significant problems with browsing on Amazon on both my Android device as well as my desktop. Amazon pages do not render properly, regardless of connected network or even device. Everything works when I disconnect from this VPN, or if I use Proton VPN. I have reported this issue to their support and provided proof, screenshots, tracerputs, assessment captured by their own tools. No help for months. Had to purchase dedicated IP to make it work... Not renewing at end of term.

Terrible VPN service. You can rely on it to constantly drop and interrupt your internet connection without fail. It cannot be trusted to run in the background without disruptions; it must be supervised and micromanaged. Also, no servers available in key tax-free regions (Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, D.C.) for US purchases. The ONLY reason to pay for this VPN service is the crazy low price when on sale. Besides that, I really cannot recommend it after 3 years of steady use. Unfortunately.

Hi, you should be able to use all streaming services when using a VPN, provided you are not violating their terms. If you follow the service provider's terms but still cannot reach them when using Surfshark, please get in touch with us at [email protected].

Ok when it works. The problem is, and it's the same on the desktop version, is that the connection gets blocked if you move around. EG home wifi works ok, take your phone/laptop to a public wifi, it might work or it might have to bereconnected to refresh the VPN, take your device back home and you start thinking why am I not getting any emails/messages. Turns out Surfshark is blocking the connection and disconnecting allows the wifi to work again. This happens when not using Kill switch.
