After releasing new servers in Ghana, Saudi Arabia, and Puerto
Rico, cybersecurity company Surfshark
became the first premium commercial VPN to offer servers in 100 countries. The company provides
above-average coverage to South America and Africa, and its total server count now reaches 3200+.
"Having extensive coverage of server locations across the
globe assures most people will be able to choose a connection close to their
homes, offices, or a traveling destination. It allows a fast and, most
importantly, secure and private browsing experience", says Justas Pukys,
VPN product owner at Surfshark.
On the security front, in 2020, Surfshark became one of the
first VPN providers to upgrade its infrastructure's security with a 100%
diskless server network, covering all 3200+ servers and locations in all
countries. Having diskless infrastructure means that if someone physically
removed a server to get the data inside, that server would be wiped
immediately.
Seeking to accommodate the faster internet, Surfshark is also
gradually shifting from 1Gbps VPN servers to 10Gbps across the globe. The
company has implemented 10 Gbps servers in half of the locations, and the rest
will follow soon.
The extended server list is the newest addition to Surfshark's
wide list of services, including MultiHop routes, Kill Switch, Bypasser, Pause
VPN, and CleanWeb. Recently, Surfshark also introduced a Linux VPN app with a
graphic user interface (GUI) and many more new functionalities to come.
All of them are available in the Surfshark One bundle, which
entails all four of the company's solutions. Apart from the Surfshark VPN
premium privacy protection service, it includes Surfshark Antivirus, Surfshark
Alert (which can detect different types of leaked data and inform the user
where the breached data has appeared), and Surfshark Search (a private search
tool that performs web search queries without ads, data logging, and trackers).
