- At home, you, the adult, can stay protected and browse or stream privately without fear that anyone will use your data for advertising.
- When you’re out and about, you and your partner can be protected when connected to free Wi-Fi hotspots.
- You won’t bring all your gadgets on a trip, but if you’re visiting other countries, you’ll be glad to find your VPN-protected phone both safe and able to reach services and websites some countries ban.
- Your kids’ devices will have more protection and be able to access websites and services despite, say, school Wi-Fi blocks.
- Put a VPN on your router and every guest that comes in and connects to your Wi-Fi will be protected as well.
Step-by-step: how to set up a VPN for multiple devices
1. Create an account on one device
2. Download the Surfshark app on that device
3. Log in with your credentials and connect to any server
4. Download Surfshark on another device
5. Log in with the same credentials and connect to any server
6. Repeat until you run out of devices
Can I use a free VPN on multiple devices?
In theory, you can use a free VPN on multiple devices since it doesn’t cost you anything to download and install it on another device.
In practice, you don’t want to use a free VPN on even a single device as:
- Free VPNs are slower than premium VPNs.
- Free VPNs may have bandwidth caps to make you buy the premium version.
- Free VPNs may have data caps to make you subscribe to the premium version.
- Free VPNs may have fewer quality-of-life features as they don’t have the funding to develop them.
- Free VPNs may be less secure since they don’t have a steady source of income like premium VPNs.
- Free VPNs may actually contain malware or be selling your browsing data.
In the end, using a free VPN on multiple devices may mean dooming several devices at the same time.

Step 2. Navigate to Settings -> Account -> Log in with code.
Step 3. Get the code.

Do you need to install a VPN on every device?
You can install a VPN on every device, but you can also secure every internet-connecting device in your home by installing a VPN on your router.
In the times of smart fridges, Alexas, Google Homes, and other smart gadgets, it is increasingly easier for cybercriminals to find loopholes and break in.
Not to mention your internet service provider snooping around and throttling your connection.
Cool router bonus: no more forgetting to connect a VPN on separate devices!

FAQ
Can a single VPN subscription cover all my devices?
Yes. With Surfshark, you can use the same VPN account on multiple devices simultaneously without any limits.
Do I have to connect all my devices to the same VPN server?
No. You can use different servers, protocols, and settings on every device. We would even recommend using different servers on all devices, as this adds more layers of safety.
Do I need a VPN for my router or all my devices?
This is up to you, but a VPN on your router has more benefits. The router connection will protect every device connected to it, including your smart fridge or vacuum. Moreover, you won’t have to worry about turning your VPN on every time.
However, the router protects your household, and once you leave the house – the VPN connection is lost. So to stay safe outside the home network, you need a VPN app.
Can I use a VPN on multiple devices?
Yes! How many installs you get depends on the VPN provider, but the number ranges from 5 to 10 devices per account. There are exceptions, though. For example, Surfshark offers unlimited installs for one account, making it the best VPN for multiple devices.
Can I share my VPN with my family?
Of course. You can have one Surfshark account and share it with every family member.
Will connecting multiple devices slow down my VPN?
Multiple devices won’t slow down your VPN, as each of them will establish their own VPN tunnel to the server.
Can two devices share one IP address in a VPN account?
With the Surfshark VPN features like Static IP and Dedicated IP, they can!
