Nexus is a VPN innovation exclusive to Surfshark. It uses Software Defined Networking (SDN) to connect our VPN servers into a single, global network. It brings new VPN features that will:
Surfshark Nexus technology – a new VPN standard
-
Improve your security & privacy
-
Make your VPN connection more stable
-
Speed up your VPN connection globally
The new Nexus features will be introduced gradually over the course of 2022 and 2023.
Putting the “Network” into VPN
VPN stands for “virtual private network,” but, in most cases, it’s hardly a network at all. Traditional consumer VPNs work by connecting users to a selected server using VPN technology. This means that their traffic enters and exits the same server, which often causes performance issues and possible privacy concerns.
Our solution is Nexus – a technology that connects all our existing VPN servers together. Connecting to Nexus means that your traffic gets routed through a whole network of servers rather than a single VPN tunnel. This obscures and hides your traffic, stabilizes performance, and enhances your VPN connection speed.
New technology, new unique VPN features
IP Rotator
Changes your IP address every once in a while without disconnecting you from the VPN network. This makes you even more difficult to track than using a simple VPN.
Dynamic MultiHop
Allows you to select both double VPN servers manually and create completely custom server pairs controlling where your traffic enters and leaves.
Nexus for unmatched VPN performance
In addition to features, you will benefit from:
Better VPN performance
Nexus optimizes network performance by directing traffic according to its patterns. Whether you are downloading, streaming, or browsing — you can do it faster.
Important: Surfshark does not track your activity or the pages you visit.
Better speeds
Nexus will solve a lot of the speed issues both locally and internationally. You’ll be able to connect through the best performing server and exit the Nexus network anywhere you want.
Better connection
You’ll experience more stable connections and will receive better protection from DNS and data packet leaks. Overall, there will be fewer network disruptions during connection optimizations and server maintenance.
