While virtual private networks can be great for protecting your privacy and unblocking geographically restricted streaming content, there's an unavoidable trade-off: VPNs slow down your internet speeds, sometimes by 50% or more. It's the nature of how VPNs work, and there's really no way around it. A VPN encrypts your online traffic while routing it through a server in another location.

Surfshark is an excellent budget-friendly VPNSurfshark is no longer the budget-friendly option it once was. At CNET, we consistently praised Surfshark for providing a top-tier VPN service at a price that wouldn’t break the bank. But Surfshark has bumped up its renewal prices by 33% this year. Even though it’s still cheaper VPNs like ExpressVPN and NordVPN, Surfshark’s price hike has made the service much less of a bargain.

SurfsharkSurfshark is my top recommendation for Amazon Prime Video users because it worked on US servers as well as all of the international servers I tried during my testing, including locations like the UK, Canada, France and Germany. I was able to stream a wide variety of content on Prime Video, including Fallout, Spongebob Squarepants and Road House without any issues with Surfshark.
