Surfshark
It’s spring already, which means — a fresh batch of Surfshark news! From a public DNS (Domain Name System) server launch to new app updates, we have a lot to share. Let’s dive in!
Our no-tracking policy was verified again
Deloitte, one of the Big Four auditing firms, confirmed that our systems and internal processes align with our privacy policy — we don’t collect or monitor your activity. We are committed to maintaining this transparency and trust and plan to continue these independent checks regularly. For more information, please visit our blog post on no-logs policy verification.
We launched public DNS servers
We just launched a new addition to our online security-boosting tools — public DNS servers! The best part? You don’t need an active Surfshark subscription to use them. It’s a free-for-all service that you can simply configure on your device.
Our privacy-focused DNS service adds a layer of protection and, thanks to our global infrastructure, ensures stable speeds. Visit this page to learn more about our public DNS.
P.S. Remember, DNS service shouldn’t be used instead of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and doesn’t provide the same security level.
We introduced a new technology — Everlink
Everlink is a patented self-healing VPN infrastructure that keeps you connected during server maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted security.
It’s available on iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and Linux, and is automatically on when using the WireGuard connection protocol.
We added more dedicated IP locations
We expanded the location list of our dedicated IP by adding seven new locations worldwide! Our new additions include servers in:
- Turkey — Istanbul;
- Poland — Warsaw;
- US — Las Vegas;
- US — Denver;
- US — New York;
- Brazil — Sao Paulo;
- Singapore — Singapore.
With these locations onboard, we now offer 20 options to choose from. Want to know them all? Check out this blog post about our dedicated IP update.
Our Antivirus scans external devices
Our Antivirus also got boosted with a new feature — external storage scans. This feature is enabled by default and protects all your USB and other external storage drives.
You can turn off the feature in our app’s Antivirus tab to save time and device resources using trusted external media.
New quick connect option for Android
We added a last-used location option to our quick connect feature and a few bug fixes for smoother surfing!
Our macOS app now has Bypasser
Bypasser, our split-tunneling feature, is now available on macOS. It allows you to select websites and apps to bypass the VPN.
In addition to that, the macOS pause VPN function now supports IKEv2 and OpenVPN protocols. We’ve also included several improvements and fixes for enhanced stability.
Use Bypasser on iOS without opening the app
You can now add new websites to Bypasser directly from your browser. Click on Share and then select Add to Bypasser to allow websites to bypass the VPN connection. We also added minor improvements and bug fixes for an even better experience.
Bugfixes for our Windows app
We improved the Windows app startup performance for a faster and smoother experience, focused on performance tweaks, and fixed a few bugs.
