Yes: Surfshark offers a free trial to new customers. Who qualifies and where it applies is listed below.
Do you still need a VPN? A free trial is not a reason to buy a VPN. Check first whether you need one at all. Run through the honest checklist

Staying anyway? This is how you pay the least
If you qualify (see the conditions above), try Surfshark through its trial first, and check in the table above whether the trial moves on to a paid plan by itself.
- Separate from the trial: a refund within 30 days of a first purchase, under the conditions above (they say which purchases are excluded).
We currently earn nothing from links to this provider; the button goes to its normal website. How this works
How to cancel and get a refund
Read the conditions of the trial on the provider's own page before you sign up: they say who qualifies and whether payment details are needed.
A trial can turn into a paid plan if you do nothing. If you do not want that, cancel in your account before the trial ends; the provider's terms decide the exact deadline.
