I ran the below commands from the SurfShark wed site:
curl -f https://downloads.surfshark.com/linux/debian-install.sh --output surfshark-install.sh #gets the installation scriptcat surfshark-install.sh #shows script's contentsh surfshark-install.sh #installs surfshark
I was unable to connect to any VPN listed, so I uninstalled it using the below commands given to me by SurfShark:
sudo apt purge surfshark #deletes surfshark GUI and its dependenciessudo apt purge surfshark-vpn #deletes CLI dependencies, in case the CLI tool is installedsudo apt purge surfshark-release #deletes our repository package
I received the following error messages:vance@vance-VP4650:~$ sudo apt purge surfshark[sudo] password for vance:Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree...

Now I can only access google pages. Any other website will not load. I have tried several browsers with the same results
SurfShark has been little help and has not refunded my money, so beware.
