[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 1000667, member: 69368"] I remember when Surfshark re-located to the Netherlands that there was a lot of concern about this move from an island in the sun that was commonly felt to be a better location for a VPN provider. The Netherlands is part of 'Nine Eyes' - [URL='https://restoreprivacy.com/5-eyes-9-eyes-14-eyes/']Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, 14 Eyes (What to Avoid in 2022)[/URL] Surfshark states "We can ensure such policy as we are based in the jurisdiction, which does not require data storage or reporting, and processes related to provision of our Services are automated." I don't trust any country that is in 5/9/14/** Eyes to be a jurisdiction that won't comply with demands from 'authorities' for data. I think that this is worth bearing in mind alongside this disclosure that Surfshark does some logging, even if only for a maximum 15 minutes. It is not the VPN that I subscribed to, it has a different jurisdiction, its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are not exactly transparent, transparency seems to be becoming more of an issue for this company since it relocated/joined with Nord/ started adding more and more services. BTW I have been informed by Surfshark that the AV "..was a highly requested tool from our customers". I do not see much discussion online by users of this AV or know anyone who requested and uses it, do you? [/QUOTE]
