How to activate Surfshark VPN Starter

Redeem your code

  1. Copy the activation code from your gate2enter.com order.
  2. Open a web browser and go to my.surfshark.com/redeem.
  3. Log in to your Surfshark account, or select Sign up and create one with your email address and a password.
  4. Paste your code into the Enter code field and click Redeem (or Activate).
  5. If you see a payment screen or a renewal button, skip it and look for the code entry option instead, so you don’t buy a new plan by mistake.
  6. If Surfshark still asks for a payment method to complete activation, add one. Your prepaid term is not charged.
  7. Wait for the confirmation message showing your Starter plan and its end date.

Turn off auto-renewal

  1. In your Surfshark account, go to Subscription (or Manage subscription).
  2. Find Auto-renewal and switch it off, then confirm.
  3. Optionally, remove your saved card under Payment settings. Your VPN keeps working until the prepaid term ends.

On Windows / macOS

  1. Download the Surfshark app from surfshark.com/download and install it.
  2. Open the app and log in with the same account you used to redeem the code.
  3. Click Quick connect, or choose a country from the location list.

On Android / iOS

  1. Install Surfshark VPN from Google Play or the App Store.
  2. Tap Log in and sign in with your Surfshark account.
  3. Allow the VPN configuration when prompted, then tap Connect.

If your code doesn’t work

  • Check the code: copy and paste it rather than typing it, and remove any extra spaces.
  • Use the redeem page: enter the code at my.surfshark.com/redeem, not the checkout or pricing page.
  • Existing plan: if your account already has an active subscription, try redeeming on a new Surfshark account.
