Surfshark VPN Now Connects on Strict Networks
17 Jun
Summary
- Surfshark's Dausos protocol now reliably connects on restricted networks.
- The update specifically targets connectivity issues on school and corporate firewalls.
- Dausos offers up to 30% faster speeds with dedicated connections.
Surfshark has released a significant update to its in-house Dausos VPN protocol, focusing on overcoming connectivity challenges on restricted networks. This upgrade directly tackles issues users encountered when trying to use Dausos on school, university, and corporate firewalls, which previously hindered access.
The primary goal of this update is to ensure Dausos can connect reliably within environments that enforce strict network configurations. Surfshark aims to make its protocol accessible to a wider audience, acknowledging that an effective protocol for everyday users must function where they actually connect.
This enhancement benefits students and employees by resolving friction points on campus or office Wi-Fi. Dausos, Surfshark's proprietary protocol, is designed for individual use, offering dedicated data channels that differentiate it from shared-tunnel technologies like WireGuard and OpenVPN. Surfshark claims Dausos can achieve up to 30% faster speeds.
For security, Dausos employs AEGIS-256X2 encryption with post-quantum protection and uses post-compromise security and port randomization. The protocol has undergone an independent audit by Cure53, confirming its robust security measures.
