Key Features for Windows Users

Privacy Powerhouse

Surfshark's Windows app runs on a strict no-logs policy, meaning your browsing data stays private. The service uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, keeping your information locked down tight. When connecting to public Wi-Fi at coffee shops or airports, you're protected against potential hackers and snoopers.

Speed and Performance

The Windows version supports three different protocols:

• WireGuard: Lightning-fast speeds with top security
• IKEv2: Perfect for stable connections
• OpenVPN: Time-tested reliability

Network Control

Server Selection:

• 3200+ servers across 100 countries
• Specialized P2P servers for file sharing
• Static IP options for consistent connections (additional cost)
• Virtual servers in restricted regions
• Ram-only servers that wipe data on restart

Smart Features You'll Actually Use

Bypasser (Split Tunneling):
Most Windows users run multiple apps simultaneously. Bypasser lets you choose which applications connect through the VPN and which use your regular connection. For example, route your browser through the VPN while letting your printer use the local network.

IP Rotator:
Changes your IP address periodically without disconnecting. This feature adds an extra layer of privacy by making your online movements harder to track. The Windows app handles these changes seamlessly – you won't even notice them happening.

GPS Spoofing:
Beyond hiding your IP, Surfshark can mask your physical location from apps that request GPS data. This works perfectly with location-sensitive Windows apps and services.

Solving Common Windows Issues

Connection Stability:
The Windows app includes an auto-connect feature that kicks in whenever your connection drops. It also remembers your preferred servers and protocols, making reconnection quick and hassle-free.

Resource Usage:
Built for efficiency, Surfshark runs light on Windows systems. The app uses minimal CPU power and RAM, so you can keep it running without slowing down your computer.

Gaming and Streaming
When gaming on Windows, Surfshark maintains low latency connections to prevent lag. The app's quick connect feature finds the fastest available server automatically. For streaming lovers, it unblocks major platforms while maintaining enough speed for HD playback.

Windows-Specific Advantages

Multiple Device Support:
One subscription covers unlimited devices. Install Surfshark on your Windows laptop, desktop, and tablet – plus all your other gadgets. The app syncs settings across Windows devices when you sign in with your account.

Browser Integration:
Chrome and Firefox extensions complement the Windows app perfectly. Use them together for extra features like cookie popup blocking and tracking prevention.
