Surfshark is a VPN that stands out for one specific reason on streaming devices: it doesn’t cap how many devices you can connect under one subscription. For a household running a VPN across a Firestick, phones, and laptops, that alone makes it worth a look.

Who Can Use Surfshark?

Surfshark makes the most sense for households with several devices that all want VPN protection under a single plan, or for anyone who wants a straightforward VPN app on their streaming device without juggling a device-count limit. Like any VPN, it requires a paid subscription.

Surfshark on Firestick

1. On your Fire TV, go to Find → Search and type “Surfshark.”

2. Select the Surfshark VPN app and choose Get.

3. Open the app and log in, or use the on-screen code to link your Fire TV without typing a password.

4. Pick a server location from the map or list view.

5. Select Connect and approve the VPN connection prompt.

Key Features

— Unlimited simultaneous device connections on a single subscription.

— A CleanWeb mode that filters ads and trackers at the network level.

— Simple map-based server picker that works well with a remote.

If the appeal of a VPN is covering every device in the house without paying per-device, Surfshark’s unlimited-connection model makes it one of the easier VPNs to justify for a Firestick setup.
