Surfshark's Web Content Blocker

Manage content access with the web content blocker
 

• Protect family members by blocking harmful content
  
• Customize content access for age-appropriateness
  
• Prevent unauthorized changes with 2FA
  

Why should you choose a web content blocker?

Surfshark's Web Content Blocker is a fresh approach to online safety that differs from traditional parental controls. Instead of focusing on monitoring specific websites or restricting users, it offers a respectful way to block access to your selected website categories — without keeping tabs on online activities. 

Web Content Blocker focuses on safeguarding every household when browsing online. It allows you to filter various websites based on categories provided, lock them using 2FA (Two-factor Authentication), and help protect family members from potential online threats caused by curiosity or carelessness. Unlike traditional tracking applications, the web content blocker helps you protect family members from seeing malicious content and websites — without snooping on their browsing activity or monitoring the actual websites they visit. With this new feature, you can filter various websites by category and lock specific content across all family mobile devices.

Surfshark has 4,500+ servers worldwide!


Surfshark shares some great news with all of us! The Surfshark network has grown to 4,500+ servers — quiet progress, powerful results. Read on below!

Why does it matter?
Every server added helps make your online experience smoother, and more secure. Surfshark focuses 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, Surfshark continuously upgraded their server network for better performance and reliability, and this updated server count shows their growth. 

This time, they did not add any new locations, just expanded the server count at existing sites. The most significant additions are in the US, the UK, and Japan regions. 

Along with the improvement they also enhanced the dedicated IP network and implemented improvements to help minimize CAPTCHA interruptions. 

What does it mean to you?
Updating the server count is essential for effectively implementing new features like self-healing infrastructure or VPN route optimization. This expansion also supports the growing user base and ensures technological advancements are more ready for the future.

What is self-healing infrastructure?
Everlink is our patented VPN server infrastructure that makes every 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 the user from the service. This ensures a smoother, more reliable experience, akin to infinite connection. 

Throughout this process, all users remain connected to the VPN, keeping data protected and IP address hidden. Surfshark Everlink servers are globally distributed, and adding more servers ensures this feature remains consistently available.

What is VPN route optimization?
Surfshark's server route optimization continuously evaluates and adjusts routes in real-time to ensure data travels along the most optimized and stable pathways, improving internet performance. Currently available for macOS devices, optimization covers key locations: Sydney, Seattle, and Vancouver. Surfshark has an option to expand this feature to even more countries with more servers available!

How is this possible?
This possbilities is due to Surfshark's exclusive technology, Surfshark Nexus. It uses Software Defined Networking (SDN) to connect VPN servers to a single, global network. With all servers unified, users 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 all VPN experience by making all connections safer and stronger. Nexus also paves the way for more server infrastructure innovations.

How do you select the best server?
The best server for users will depend on what they are looking for. If a user is after faster speeds, select the server closest to your location or simply select the 'Fastest location' option in the Surfshark app.

If the user wants a specific IP address, any server in his preferred country will work. All he has to do is select the country from the locations list. On the security front, all servers are equally safe. To connect to a VPN, simply click the Quick-connect button.

Surfshark: A new standard for VPN speed - introducing 100Gbps servers


Surfshark is thrilled to introduce an advancement in VPN (Virtual Private Network) hardware with the launch of Surfshark’s new 100Gbps servers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This development represents a major leap forward from the standard 10Gbps servers — a leap designed to meet the increasing demands of today’s digital landscape. Read on below!

Why does 100Gbps matter?
The demand for faster and more reliable internet is skyrocketing. With more devices in every household, higher-quality video streaming, and larger software updates, the need for speed is greater than ever. The new 100Gbps servers offers 10 times the capacity of the previous 10Gbps standard, ensuring every internet experience is smooth and uninterrupted, even during peak times.

 

World's first 100Gbps VPN server

What does this mean for all users?
The new servers are a step into the future of VPNs. With it, all users can enjoy full internet speed and:
 

• Future-proofing Surfshark's performance
  The number of internet users is increasing. With this update, Surfshark is preparing for the future and making sure that heavy internet activity by others won’t slow down the user's internet connection. Imagine downloading a big OS update while someone else streams 4K video without any buffering. This update keeps the user's video calls clear, even when a roommate uploads files.
  
  
• High-quality streaming and VR
  As streaming will continue to evolve to 4K, 8K, and even 360°, and as virtual reality will become more integrated into daily life, the new 100Gbps servers will ensure that all users have the bandwidth needed for these high-demand applications.
  
  
• Smoother gaming and virtual meetings
  High-speed internet means lag-free gaming and virtual meetings. With this update, Surfshark ensures that the increasing number of internet users won’t result in buffering, and all can get a more seamless experience, even during the busiest times.
  
  
• Greater peak-time reliability
  With a 100Gbps server, more users can connect to the same server without experiencing slowdowns. This means that even with the increasing number of internet users, Surfshark users will continue getting more stable gaming pings, fewer buffering issues, and smoother work calls.
  

 

Surfshark -  Shaping the future of VPNs
With 100Gbps servers, Surfshark is not just keeping up with the future. They are leading the way! This new standard — enabled by bigger pipes, faster encryption, smarter software paths, and better load distribution — delivers consistently high speeds, greater stability, and the capacity needed for the next wave of bandwidth-intensive use. At the moment, they are testing this innovation with a few servers, laying the foundation for potential future rollouts.
