SurfEasy gives you the tools you need to surf the web safely and securely, without limits or restrictions. Bank-grade encryption, anonymous browsing, and online freedom are all delivered through a simple VPN app on your smartphone or computer.

The company was founded by Chris Houston, who brought deep mobile tech experience from Virgin Mobile Canada to the problem of online privacy, convinced that great security shouldn’t require technical expertise to use.

SurfEasy was built to make serious security genuinely accessible to everyone, on any device, anywhere in the world. 

BrandProject invested in the seed round SurfEasy. The company was acquired by Opera Software in 2015 and subsequently by Symantec in 2017.
