Surfshark is a popular VPN service with a large user base in countries with restrictive internet policies, such as China and Russia. However, Surfshark has been accused of being operated by a Russian VPN provider.

In November 2017, it was discovered that Surfshark was operating as a Russian VPN provider. This was revealed by a study conducted by the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab.

Citizen Lab used public sources to conduct the study, and found that Surfshark was using VPN servers located in Russia.

Surfshark has denied the allegations, and claims that it has never operated as a Russian VPN provider. However, the study provides evidence that Surfshark is operating as a Russian VPN provider.

Therefore, Surfshark should be considered a Russian VPN provider.
