While Surfshark is one of the more budget-friendly online security providers, fees can add up. Happily, the company is offering excellent deals across all plans, including 85 per cent off its cheapest option, Surfshark Starter – so you can protect yourself online from just £1.79 per month.
One of the biggest names in cybersecurity, Surfshark provides online security covering all bases. Whether you’re looking to protect your device from viruses or want to use public wifi without concerns about bad actors getting their hands on your personal data, it offers market-leading services that provide peace of mind while surfing the web. In his review of Surfshark’s offering, tech expert Steve Hogarty praised its “low price and the perk of unlimited simultaneous devices.”

The most impressive discounts are applied to Surfshark’s long-term plans. Surfshark’s entry-level Starter package has a whopping 85 per cent off, which brings the price to £1.79 per month, plus, you get an extra three months added on. All in all, you can save hundreds of pounds, as over the course of those 27 months, the price works out at £48.33 (down from £323.73).
**What does the Starter package deal include? **
The Surfshark Starter package includes a VPN and an alternative ID and it can be used on an unlimited number of devices. It covers ad and cookie pop-up blockers, plus, a rotating IP, so you can stay untraceable online. It encrypts your data twice, for double the protection, and allows specific apps and websites to bypass the VPN (this is helpful with mobile banking apps, for instance). The package also includes an alternative ID – allowing you to keep your actual email address hidden from prying eyes.
**Add antivirus for £1.99 per month **
For more comprehensive protection, Surfshark One is the next step up, and it’s also 87 per cent off, bringing the price down to just £1.79 per month. This deal also gets you three extra months for free. On top of the features you get with the Starter plan, it includes antivirus, an email scam checker, a web content blocker, and a search feature for private, secure, ad-free browsing. And, you’ll get alerts about data leaks and other security risks, so you’re kept in the loop.
**Get all-in-one cover for £3.29 per month **
For total peace of mind, opt for Surfshark’s One Plus, which provides all-in-one cover. It is the priciest of the three, but right now you can save an impressive 79 per cent, which brings the price down to just £3.29 per month. In addition to the features of the Surfshark One plan, the One Plus plan finds and removes your personal data from company databases for you.
**Why choose Surfshark? **
For an affordable, speedy way to protect yourself online, Surfshark offers great value for money. In tech expert Steve Hogarty’s review, he said the “user interface is approachable, it works with all the major streaming services and has the security chops to back it up thanks to those RAM-only servers.”
He said it was “consistently one of the fastest VPNs” he tested, and was impressed with the Alternative ID. Available on every Surfshark plan, it “generates a fake name, date of birth and email address for you to use when signing up for sketchy websites or newsletters, keeping the resulting spam out of your real inbox.”
For extra peace of mind, Surfshark’s no-logs policy is another reassuring perk. As Steve explains, you’re giving your personal data to a VPN provider but, with Surfshark’s “no-logs” policy, the company “doesn’t track, monitor or keep any record of what you do online.”
Plus, in terms of privacy, Steve noted Surfshark’s in-built kill switch “blocks your device from accessing the internet if your connection drops, acting as the final line of defence so that your data is never exposed.”
