NordVPN vs Surfshark: Which VPN won in our expert’s tests?

NordVPN and Surfshark are two of the best VPNs out there, but which one is right for you depends on what you need - (The Independent)

When it comes to choosing between the best VPNs, NordVPN and Surfshark are two of the most well-known providers. Yes, their huge advertising budgets play a part, but after testing both across multiple devices for years, it’s obvious why they’re so prominent – they consistently rank among the best. The tricky bit is that these VPN services are also very similar, so which one actually comes out on top?

In short, there’s not that much separating them. Both support WireGuard and OpenVPN, offer thousands of servers and throw in extras like ad and tracker blocking, plus multi-hop (or double VPN) for an extra layer of privacy. Where they differ is in how they present all that. NordVPN is great for power users who like to tinker with their settings, while Surfshark positions itself as the best value pick, stuffing in loads of features for a lower price.
