The best thing about Surfshark — besides the unlimited device allowance — is that setup is genuinely easy on everything. Here is the complete installation walkthrough for every device you own, with the troubleshooting fixes that solve most issues.
Before You Begin
You need two things: a Surfshark subscription (get one locally from LWA Store in rupees to avoid card friction) and the login credentials sent to you. Everything else is follow-the-steps.
Windows and Mac
Head to Surfshark's download page, install the desktop app, and log in. The app picks the fastest server automatically — click connect and you are protected. To customize, choose a country from the list, enable the kill switch in settings, and switch protocol to WireGuard for maximum speed.
Android and iPhone
Install Surfshark from the Play Store or App Store, log in, and grant the VPN permission prompt. Enable the kill switch in settings and, on Android, turn on auto-connect so you never browse unprotected. iOS users should enable the auto-connect option for the same effect.
Smart TVs and Fire Stick
Fire TVs and Android TVs support Surfshark natively — search the store, install, log in, connect. For other smart TVs or consoles, the workaround is faster: enable Surfshark on the router (supported router models) or connect via a Smart DNS setup from the same account, which unblocks streaming without a full VPN app.
Routers
Surfshark lists supported router firmware and provides a setup app for many models. Once configured on the router, every device on your Wi-Fi is protected at once — the cleanest way to cover devices that cannot run VPN apps themselves.
Troubleshooting That Actually Works
- Can't connect: switch protocol to IKEv2 or OpenVPN in settings; try another server city
- Slow speeds: reconnect to a nearby server or enable WireGuard
- Netflix not unlocking: clear app cache and switch server; streaming IPs rotate
- App not logging in: check the credentials carefully or reinstall the app
