As long as you are happy to commit to a longer-term. Surfshark is a VPN service based in the Netherlands that encrypts internet connections and conceals IP addresses to safeguard online privacy. I have used several different VPNs & this is the worst (including the free VPN). This seems like a critical failure and the reason I want to run a VPN through Firewalla in the first place. Surfshark is a feature-laden British Virgin Islands-based VPN that comes at an impressively low price. Vast server network: 3200+ servers worldwide. Yet this doesn't seem to be very secure according to Surfshark's reporting tools ( ) where my devices fail the "IP address checker" and "WebRTC leak checker" reports (while passing "DNS leak checker"). Surfshark offers AES-256-GCM encryption (which is faster than regular AES-256 encryption) and uses some of the safest VPN protocols currently available to VPN. Product features Travel the world, virtually: 100+ server locations. I seemed to also successfully switch DHCP from my modem/router to Firewalla DHCP so that I can run all my LAN devices through the VPN (and not be forced to manually activate VPN access per device that seems required when running Firewalla in Simple Mode).Ī couple anomalies are resulting however:ġ) All devices on the network when attached to the VPN show a warning that numerous Firewalla features are no longer available: "Family Protect, Ad Block, Safe Search, DNS over HTTPS are not available on this device" (actually this warning happens when activating Surfshark VPN Client profile in Firewalla whether in Simple Mode with DHCP on my router or Firewalla's DHCP Mode when DHCP is turned off on my router).Ģ) When devices are connected to Surfshark via Firewalla VPN Client, I see an IP number used by devices is a close match to what Surfshark is reporting as its server IP in the VPN Profiles. I've got a Surfshark account and successfully installed and enabled its VPN profile within my Firewalla Blue+ VPN Client 3rd Party config.
