Protect your privacy with advanced cybersecurity features

Double VPN

Double VPN

Route your internet traffic through two different VPN (Virtual Private Network) servers with Surfshark’s Dynamic MultiHop (double VPN) — manually choose entry and exit points for double encryption, anonymity, and data security.

Obfuscated servers

Obfuscated servers

Hide your data and the fact you’re using a VPN with obfuscated servers, aka Surfshark’s Camouflage Mode — even your ISP (Internet Service Provider) won’t know you’re using a VPN.

Split tunneling

Exclude apps and websites from VPN encryption with the split tunneling feature, also called Bypasser on the Surfshark app — choose which traffic remains under VPN protection and which doesn’t get routed through the VPN server.

Kill Switch

Boost your online security and keep your data protected at all times with the VPN Kill Switch — if your VPN connection drops, this feature cuts off your internet access so that your data doesn’t get exposed.

NoBorders

Use Surfshark VPN through network restrictions with NoBorders — this feature detects restricted networks and provides you with a list of servers that work best under those network restrictions.

CleanWeb

Surf the web without distractions — Surfshark’s CleanWeb blocks ads, banners, and pop-ups, as well as trackers and access to malicious websites, so you can browse online safely and ad-free.

Cookie pop-up Blocker

Improve your browsing experience by eliminating cookie pop-ups — Surfshark’s Cookie pop-up Blocker will reject all possible cookies on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, so you don’t have to deal with annoying pop-ups.

Static IP

Static IP

Access applications remotely, host a website, or create a game server with Surfshark’s Static IP (Internet Protocol) servers — choose from a list of servers and always connect to the same one to keep the same IP address.

Dedicated IP

Get a unique IP address only you can use — the Dedicated IP feature provides you with a designated IP address that helps you access IP-sensitive websites and remote networks and avoid annoying CAPTHAs and IP blocklists.

Safety features to maximize your online protection

Auto-connect & Quick-connect

When your device connects to the internet, Auto-connect automatically establishes a VPN connection to keep your data secured every second you spend online, and the Quick-connect button connects you to the fastest or your chosen preferred location.

Rotating IP

One of Surfshark’s Nexus technology features, Rotating IP, changes your IP address every few minutes without dropping the VPN connection, making it even more difficult to track you.

GPS override

On your Android device, you can override your GPS location, and in your GPS-enabled apps, appear as if you’re in the location that matches the Surfshark server location you’re connected to.

Reverse Bypasser

As the name suggests, Reverse Bypasser is the opposite feature of Surfshark’s Bypasser, which means you can manually select apps and websites to send through the VPN tunnel, leaving the rest of your traffic VPN-free.

Pause VPN

Pause VPN is a convenient feature that allows you to stop VPN use for a limited time. You can put your VPN on hold for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or 2 hours, and it will automatically resume after the selected time.

FAQs

A VPN’s main purpose is to provide its users with security and privacy by encrypting their data and masking their IP address. Using a VPN creates a secure connection between your device and the internet and routes your traffic through an encrypted virtual tunnel, keeping your data protected.

A VPN works by sending your network traffic through a VPN server before it reaches the internet. The VPN connection creates a secure tunnel between your device and the internet, where your data gets encrypted, and you get assigned a new IP address. This keeps your online activity secure and private from snoopers and intrusive third parties.

The best VPN features include strong encryption, secure protocols, a kill switch, split tunneling, worldwide server coverage, no activity logging, multiple simultaneous connections, ad-blockers, wide device and platform compatibility, and great customer support.
