Does Surfshark Work in Belgium? (Device Setup Guides) (2026)

Surfshark works in Belgium, and you can set it up on your mobile devices, PC, smart TV, gaming consoles, and streaming devices (like Apple TV).

The VPN service provider also includes two Belgium server locations which double as P2P servers and multi-hop connection servers. Hence, ensuring users can get extra security and online privacy on the local servers.

I’ve broken down the Surfshark setup method for multiple device types in Belgium into stepwise guides below.

5. Enjoy the VPN service in Belgium.

How to Setup Surfshark on Gaming Consoles and Smart TVs in Belgium?

You don’t get Surfshark apps for gaming consoles or for Samsung and LG smart TV sets, although streaming units on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV do get one. However, you can still use Surfshark with consoles and those TVs from Belgium via the router setup or a Windows PC hotspot.

Setup Surfshark for Gaming Consoles and PCs via Router

Before we start, ensure you have a VPN-compatible router. 

Some routers aren’t VPN-compatible by default but allow you to flash custom firmware onto them, as shown below.

However, flashing custom firmware has risks, and some routers won’t support VPN installation, no matter what.

But if you have a compatible router, here’s how to set up Surfshark:

1. Get your Surfshark account with these fantastic discount deals.
2. Install Surfshark on your router manually. Follow this Surfshark-router installation guide, or watch the video below.

3. Connect your smart TV, gaming console, or streaming unit to the router network.
4. Unblock content on your smart TV/streaming devices and get DDoS protection while gaming via your console in Belgium.

Setup Surfshark for Smart TVs and Gaming Consoles via TV Apps or a Windows Hotspot

Surfshark ended its SmartDNS service in February 2026, so the DNS-address setup I used to show here no longer works. What replaces it depends on the device in front of you.

Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV:

1. Get a Surfshark subscription. Save more with these discounts.
2. Open your TV’s app store: Google Play on Android TV or Google TV, the Amazon Appstore on a Fire TV Stick, or the App Store on an Apple TV.
3. Search for “Surfshark” and install the app.

4. Log in with your Surfshark email and password.
5. Connect to a US server for US-only catalogs, or to whichever country’s library you’re after.

PlayStation, Xbox, and Samsung or LG TVs:

Surfshark has no app for these, so connect them to the VPN router from the previous section. No compatible router? Share the VPN from a Windows PC instead:

1. In the Surfshark app, go to Settings > VPN settings > Protocol, pick OpenVPN (UDP), and disconnect.
2. Switch on Settings > Network & internet > Mobile hotspot in Windows.

3. Open Network Connections, right-click “Data Channel Offload for Surfshark” (the DCO adapter), and go to Properties > Sharing. Tick “Allow other network users to connect…” and select the new hotspot adapter.
4. Reconnect Surfshark, then join the hotspot’s Wi-Fi from your console or TV.

If you’d rather skip the extra setup, NordVPN still offers SmartDNS for TVs and consoles without a VPN app. My NordVPN SmartDNS guide covers it, and NordVPN’s current deal is here.

What’s the Best Surfshark Protocol and Server for Belgium?

Surfshark’s WireGuard protocol is the best and fastest to use in Belgium. 

However, you may get better performance against firewalls, VPN traffic blocks, and harsh censorship with the OpenVPN protocol, which is slower than WireGuard.

To choose the correct protocol

1. Click “Settings.”

2. Click “VPN settings.”
3. Scroll to “Protocol” and toggle the dropdown.
4. Select “WireGuard.”

That said, the best Surfshark server to connect to in Belgium depends on whether you want internet privacy, DDoS protection, content unblocking, torrent downloads, or something else from the VPN.

So, you can connect to ANY Surfshark server to secure your internet activities from Proximus, BASE, other ISPs, and public Wi-Fi network admins. 

Furthermore, connect to a nearby server for the best speed and performance while enjoying reliable privacy.

Alternatively, connect to a US server to unblock US content (like Peacock TV), click on a UK server to watch UK-restricted content (like BBC iPlayer), or choose the server location where any other content you want to unblock is showing.

You can also connect to Surfshark’s MultiHop servers for improved privacy in Belgium. This gives you different IP addresses on the connection entry and exit points. Thus, anyone tracking you can only see the first IP you connected with, but not the second.

Follow the guide below to learn how to do that with a Belgium server.

How to Get a Belgium IP Address on Surfshark?

Even in Belgium, you can connect to a local server to encrypt your internet activity from your ISPs or public Wi-Fi network admins at Belga Café (Brussels), Pizza Hut (Ghent), or anywhere else.

Luckily, the Belgium server is also one of Surfshark’s P2P servers. 

Hence, ensuring the best performance for gamers and fast torrent downloads.

The best part is that you can access local content like RTBF, AB3, and Tipik while on this server.

Here’s how to get it:

1. Got your Surfshark account? Get it with these fantastic discounts.
2. Download the VPN app for your smartphone or PC.
3. Install and launch the app. Then, log in with your username and password.
4. Select the suitable protocol. I recommend WireGuard.
5. Enter “Belgium” in the search bar.

6. Click the Brussels or Antwerp server to connect.
7. Enjoy your Belgium IP address.

To get the Belgium P2P server:

1. Follow steps 1-4 from above.
2. Enter “P2P” in the search bar.

3. Scroll to the Belgium P2P server. It’s the one in Antwerp.
4. Click the server to connect.

Finally, you can set up MultiHop with this server. Here’s how:

1. Follow steps 1-4 from the first guide.
2. Click “MultiHop.”

3. Click “Got it” on the prompt that appears.

4. Click “Create Connection.”

5. Select an entry location from the list of servers. Note that the server you pick here won’t be the final IP address you get but the one you use to hide your true IP. I’ll choose Algeria.

6. Next, select an exit location. This determines the IP address you get. I’ll choose Belgium.

7. Click “Connect” on the prompt showing your connection is ready.

8. Enjoy your extra secure connection!

One VPN to Protect Your Devices

Surfshark’s unlimited simultaneous connections ensures it can encrypt internet activities across your PCs, mobile devices, smart TVs, and gaming consoles in Belgium. 

Likewise, its unlimited bandwidth promise means you can securely download torrents, unblock 4K Netflix/BBC iPlayer/Hulu/Amazon Prime Video streams, and play resource-heavy games at the same time.

That sounds promising, and you can get it all cheaply using these Surfshark discounts. Did I mention it has a 30-day money-back guarantee to support this offer?
