Surfshark, a leading provider of VPN services, unveils Surfshark Everlink, an industry-first patented technology designed to deliver greater VPN connection stability.
What is Surfshark Everlink?
Surfshark Everlink is a supporting, self-healing infrastructure that ensures continuous VPN connectivity by seamlessly recovering dropped VPN connections. This technology allows users to enjoy a stable VPN connection and minimizes the risk of IP address exposure.
Surfshark Everlink was built on patented technology (patent: US11190491B1, Method and apparatus for maintaining a resilient VPN connection; patent: US20240080302A1, Clustering of Virtual Private Network Servers). The company holds multiple patents for industry innovation and seeks to improve its VPN offering and help build a better Internet for everyone.
How does Surfshark Everlink work?
Surfshark Everlink is an additional layer of security that helps recover lost connections. When connected to the VPN with WireGuard protocol, Surfshark users connect to the VPN infrastructure and the Everlink infrastructure. If there is a drop in connection, Surfshark Everlink instantly acts as a self-healing mechanism and revives the user's connection by reconfiguring the VPN tunnel without disconnecting and reconnecting from the VPN service, protecting the user from potential data exposure. Surfshark Everlink also ensures that the VPN service for the user remains stable in case of server maintenance or repairs.
Surfshark Everlink technology is enabled by default on the WireGuard protocol on all platforms, including iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and Linux.
Why should you use Surfshark Everlink?
Surfshark Everlink is essential for seamless connectivity and an important new technology for privacy and security. The latest technology can be compared to an already existing, industry-standard Kill Switch, which immediately severs your internet access if the VPN server fails, effectively taking you offline to prevent data leaks. Surfshark developed its Everlink feature to enhance this industry standard. Instead of simply disconnecting users, Everlink aims to maintain a secure and private connection, even during potential VPN disruptions. Users can still select the traditional Kill Switch, but Everlink offers an additional way to ensure continuous, secure connectivity.
