Surfshark
Surfshark was founded in 2018 in Lithuania, a notably later entrant into the consumer VPN market than many of its established competitors, and the company differentiated itself specifically by offering unlimited simultaneous device connections per subscription, a feature most competitors capped at a fixed number. That unlimited-device model made Surfshark particularly appealing to families and users with many connected devices, since competing services typically charged more or required separate subscriptions once a household exceeded five or ten simultaneously connected devices. Surfshark merged with Lithuanian antivirus company Nord Security's competitor NordVPN's corporate structure in 2022 under a shared holding company called Cyberspace, while continuing to operate as a distinct, separately branded VPN product rather than being folded directly into NordVPN itself. Surfshark's combination of its differentiating unlimited-device subscription model and its rapid growth into a major VPN brand despite its later 2018 market entry has made it one of the fastest-growing companies in the consumer VPN industry.
VS
Proton VPN
Proton VPN was launched in 2017 by the team behind Proton Mail, the encrypted email service founded by scientists who had met while working at CERN, and the VPN product was built specifically to extend that same privacy-focused mission into internet browsing more broadly. The company is headquartered in Switzerland, a jurisdiction with strong constitutional privacy protections, and Proton has published its full VPN application source code openly, letting independent security researchers directly audit the software's code rather than relying solely on the company's own privacy claims. Proton VPN offers a genuinely functional free tier with no data cap, an unusual approach among VPN providers, most of which either don't offer a free option or impose significant data or speed limitations on free users specifically to encourage paid upgrades. Proton VPN's combination of its origins within the CERN-scientist-founded Proton privacy ecosystem and its unusually generous unlimited free tier has made it one of the most distinctively positioned VPN services in the privacy-focused technology industry.
