The last feature we’d like to go over is advertised rather heavily by Surfshark, namely the ability to get past China’s internet blocks. If you want to torrent, either service will do. In the end, though, all that matters is that you have a good connection speed and a working kill switch. We assume this means you can use any server for P2P activities. Surfshark seems to have advertised special servers in the past, but no longer does so. Though we’re not sure if it matters whether or not you have special servers, we guess it’s a nice touch. NordVPN even has a whole suite of servers especially for P2P traffic. TorrentingĪnother important use for VPNs is torrenting, which both Surfshark and NordVPN can handle. Surfshark, though, seems to be struggling badly with Netflix’s new VPN detection system-one it didn’t handle all that well even before the update-so you may want to give it a pass if entertainment is the main reason you’re signing up for a VPN. ExpressVPN, for example, still manages it on some of its servers. A recent crackdown by Netflix has made it hard to watch Netflix with any VPN, but some have fared a lot better than others. If you’re looking to use either NordVPN or Surfshark to get into other countries’ Netflix libraries, then get ready to be disappointed. With such a wide network, you’re bound to find a server within a few hundred miles, especially if you’re in Europe or North America.
Both networks are extensive: NordVPN has over 5,000 servers in 60 countries, while Surfshark boasts 3,200 in 65 countries.
The upside is that, if you just need a VPN to keep yourself safe online, then both services will have you covered with a nearby server.
While taking the slow-but-steady notion may be good advice in many other areas of life, it’s unnecessary when it comes to VPNs as there are plenty of other services that offer both speed and reliability. Surfshark is more consistent, but its speeds can only be described as average, generally only offering about half the speed of what NordVPN’s faster servers can deliver.
