Surfshark VPN

Surfshark is a cybersecurity company that launched its VPN in 2018 and merged with Nord Security in 2022, so pick your tier, then subscribe through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Its core product is Surfshark VPN, which encrypts your connection and hides your IP address across 4,500 plus RAM-only servers in more than 100 countries, with unlimited simultaneous devices on one subscription. The wider suite adds Surfshark Antivirus, Surfshark Search, Surfshark Alert for data-breach monitoring and Alternative ID for masked emails and personas, and the company also sells Incogni data removal and the Saily eSIM. Its no-logs policy was verified by Deloitte in 2023 and again in 2025. Go through the ShopBack Surfshark merchant page before you subscribe and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback at the rate shown on that page.

Surfshark sells three tiers, Starter, One and One+, each available on a 1-month, 12-month or 24-month term. The 24-month term carries the lowest monthly equivalent, and the plan renews at the then-current rate after the introductory term. The compare table on the pricing page shows which of VPN, Alternative ID, scam protection, Antivirus, Alert and Incogni data removal each tier includes. Every tier comes with the 30-day money-back guarantee. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Surfshark page before you subscribe.

Surfshark prices long terms with standing introductory discounts rather than short flash sales. The windows to compare against are Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the New Year period. During a sale, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Surfshark page before you buy, and note that the page lists a rate for new Surfshark customers.

Surfshark says every plan can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase if the service is not for you: contact Surfshark's 24/7 support and request the refund. The guarantee is listed on every tier of the pricing page. If you are testing Surfshark against another VPN, do it inside the 30 days and keep the one you want.

Surfshark and NordVPN have sat under the same Nord Security umbrella since the 2022 merger but remain separate products with separate pricing, apps and subscriptions. Surfshark's distinguishing terms, from its own site, are unlimited simultaneous devices on one plan, 40 Australian servers across Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth, and the Starter, One and One+ tier structure. Compare NordVPN's device limit, server count and plan terms on its own site before choosing. Both are listed on ShopBack Australia, so whichever you pick, start from that merchant's ShopBack page. Our NordVPN annual vs monthly blog covers the term-length maths, which applies equally to Surfshark.

Starter is the entry tier and the cheapest way to get Surfshark VPN with unlimited devices. One and One+ are the bundled security tiers, with One+ at the top of the price ladder. The pricing page's compare view marks which tier includes VPN, Alternative ID, scam protection, Antivirus, Alert and Incogni data removal, so check it against what you already pay for elsewhere. If you only want the VPN for travel Wi-Fi and Australian streaming abroad, Starter is usually enough. The current Cashback is shown on the Surfshark page on ShopBack.

Yes. Surfshark states that a single subscription works simultaneously on unlimited devices, so one plan covers every phone, laptop, tablet and TV in a household without separate accounts. Its help centre covers desktop and mobile apps, TVs and consoles, and manual setup for routers. The one exception is the free trial, which is limited to 3 devices until you move to a paid plan. Features such as Bypasser split tunnelling, Kill Switch, CleanWeb and Dynamic MultiHop are in the apps on each device. One subscription means one ShopBack cashback event, so buy the longest term you are comfortable with.

Yes. Surfshark lists 40 Australian servers across 5 locations: Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth. A nearby server keeps latency low for everyday browsing, and an Australian IP lets you reach Australian streaming and banking services while overseas. In the app you type Australia in the search bar, pick a city and connect, or use Quick connect for the fastest nearby server. Surfshark's network is RAM-only, meaning nothing is written to disk on the server, and the company's no-logs policy has been audited by Deloitte. Subscribing through the ShopBack Surfshark page gives you the same servers plus cashback at the current published rate.

The ShopBack Surfshark page lists a rate for new Surfshark customers, so the Cashback offer is for a first-time subscription rather than a renewal or upgrade on an existing account. Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account: open the Surfshark page on ShopBack, pick your tier and term on surfshark.com and pay there. Surfshark applies its discounted term pricing automatically.

A full refund under Surfshark's 30-day money-back guarantee counts as a cancellation. Turning off auto-renewal so the plan simply lapses at the end of the term does not change Cashback already confirmed on the original purchase. If you are testing Surfshark, decide inside the 30 days whether it is staying.
