Surfshark
We’re excited to share some great news with you today. Our network has grown to 4,500+ servers — quiet progress, powerful results. Want to know more? Read on!
Why does it matter?
Every server we add helps make your online experience smoother, and more secure. We focus on quality, not quantity, with each server running at least 10Gbps and featuring industry-first self-healing server infrastructure.
What new servers did we add?
Over the years, we’ve continuously upgraded our server network for better performance and reliability, and this updated server count shows our growth.
This time, we did not add any new locations, just expanded our server count at existing sites. The most significant additions are in the US, the UK, and Japan regions.
We’ve also enhanced our dedicated IP network and implemented improvements to help minimize CAPTCHA interruptions.
What does it mean to you?
Updating our server count is essential for effectively implementing new features like self-healing infrastructure or VPN route optimization.
This expansion also supports our growing user base and ensures our technological advancements are more ready for the future.
What is self-healing infrastructure?
Everlink is our patented VPN server infrastructure that makes your connection more stable.
In the event of a server failure or maintenance, Everlink functions as a self-healing mechanism, reconfiguring the VPN tunnel without disconnecting you from the service. This ensures a smoother, more reliable experience, akin to infinite connection.
Throughout this process, you remain connected to the VPN, keeping your data protected and your IP address hidden. Surfshark Everlink servers are globally distributed, and adding more servers ensures this feature remains consistently available.
What is VPN route optimization?
Our server route optimization continuously evaluates and adjusts routes in real-time to ensure your data travels along the most optimized and stable pathways, improving internet performance.
Currently available for macOS devices, our optimization covers key locations: Sydney, Seattle, and Vancouver. We have an option to expand this feature to even more countries with more servers available!
How is this possible?
It’s all thanks to our exclusive technology, Surfshark Nexus. It uses Software Defined Networking (SDN) to connect our VPN servers to a single, global network.
With all servers unified, you can connect to any country, switch locations, and enjoy the same security, since all servers are part of the same network.
This unified server network enhances your VPN experience by making your connection safer and stronger. Nexus also paves the way for more server infrastructure innovations.
How do you select the best server?
The best server for you will depend on what you’re looking for. If you’re after faster speeds, select the server closest to you or simply select the Fastest location option in your Surfshark app.
If you want a specific IP address, any server in your preferred country will work. All you have to do is select the country from the locations list.
On the security front, all of our servers are equally safe. To connect to a VPN, simply click the Quick-connect button.
