Surfshark general highlights

Surfshark appears simple from the outside, but that is different if we look inside this VPN. It uses our most acknowledged OpenVPN and IKEv2 protocols with AES 256-bit encryption. IKEv2 is excellent for mobile apps because, apart from offering stable and secure connection, it also doesn't drain device's battery as much as other protocols.

Additionally, Surfshark has recently implemented WireGuard – a cutting edge tunneling protocol that raises the connection speeds to an awesome level without compromising security.

The company which is developing Surfshark is based in the British Virgin Islands. This country doesn't require logging its citizens' online activities, and this allows Surfshark to implement its strict no logs policy.
