Surfshark speed and connection quality in Cabo Verde

We benchmark Surfshark on nearby Cabo Verde nodes during peak hours, measuring download retention, jitter and connection setup time. Its 9.4/10 speed score reflects consistent throughput rather than a single best-case run.

WireGuard-based connections open fastest; OpenVPN remains the compatibility fallback on restrictive networks.

Streaming and apps in Cabo Verde

Surfshark earns 9.6/10 for streaming. For Cabo Verde, pick a streaming-optimised server rather than the nearest one — routing quality matters more than distance.

• Use provider-listed streaming servers, not the default nearest node
• Test during your normal viewing hours, not off-peak
• Keep the app updated — server lists change without notice

Security, privacy and logging

Security scores 9.5/10. Surfshark supports modern protocols (WireGuard, OpenVPN), a kill switch, DNS/leak protection and per-app split tunnelling on the main platforms.

We weight audited no-logs claims and leak protection above marketing features — that is where the 9.5/10 comes from.

• WireGuard and OpenVPN support
• Kill switch and DNS leak protection
• Audited no-logs posture (verify the latest audit date)
• Split tunnelling on supported platforms

Pricing, plans and refunds

Surfshark starts at $2.49/mo on long-term plans. The current coupon TOPVPN85 is applied at checkout. Longer plans cut the monthly cost sharply, but check the renewal price — not just the intro offer.

How to set up Surfshark in Cabo Verde

Total setup time is usually under five minutes on mobile and desktop. For routers, install the app on the router itself so every device in Cabo Verde is covered at once.

• Create your account and choose a plan at $2.49/mo.
• Install the app for your device (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or router).
• Sign in and pick a Cabo Verde-near server — or a streaming server if you need one.
• Enable the kill switch and DNS leak protection in settings.
• Run a leak test, then connect. If speed drops, switch protocol to WireGuard.

Who should choose Surfshark — and who should not

• Choose Surfshark if: you want Value and unlimited devices and a strong all-round score.
• Choose something else if: you need the absolute lowest price, or a very specific server country.
• Best alternative for budget: pick the cheapest top-rated provider instead.
• Best alternative for privacy purists: an audited, open-source-first provider.
