Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you're signed in to the correct Surfshark account
  • Click on your email address at the top-right corner of the screen
  • Select "Subscription" from the dropdown menu
  • Select the "Payments" section
  • Look for the "Cancel auto-renewal" button
  • If you subscribed through iOS or Android, you must cancel through that platform

  • Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
  • Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
  • Make sure you clicked "Cancel auto-renewal" in the Payments section and confirmed
  • Verify that auto-renewal has been disabled in your account
  • Contact Surfshark Support if charges continue after the cancellation date

Your account will remain accessible after cancellation. However, you'll lose access to VPN services after your subscription expires.

You can still access the Surfshark app, but VPN connection will be disabled after your subscription expires.
