Whitelister is a split tunneling feature offered by Surfshark. It practically allows you to exclude an application from being run by the active VPN traffics. This is useful if you need to run an application by a local network such as intranet for instance.

No Log Policy

Surfshark is pretty transparent when it come to their logging policy which is explained in detailed what kind of information they collect and what they didn't. Here are the information which they do not log:

- IP address
- Browser history
- Bandwidth
- Session information
- Connection timestamp
- Network traffic


Quote:It however collect non-sensitive data for various purposes as explained below

To create your account and to provide you with an outstanding VPN service, we need to collect some information.
Your personal information that we collect:
  • E-mail address and encrypted password
  • Basic billing information and order history

We need your email in order to help you fix any issues that you may encounter. Also, we may send you information when we have a discount or news that we think you may enjoy. You can always opt out of newsletters!

Your billing information will include your payment amount, currency and the date of the payment, as well as what you chose to purchase. If you use third-party payment providers, they may collect additional information on you, however, you can opt for anonymity and pay with cryptocurrency.

None of this data can be tied to your account. Here’s an example: we will know if there is an issue with one of our apps, but we will not know whether you specifically had that issue, unless you contact our support. Any data that we collect is completely anonymous.
We only collect the bare minimum amount of technical data that we need to provide you with excellent services and inform you about our new offers.

That’s it! In the age of big data, a lot of companies know pretty much everything about you: what you like, what you do online, and who you are. We know very little, and we intend to keep it that way.

We are based in the British Virgin Islands. This means that our jurisdiction does not require us to store data – and we can enforce our strict no-logs policy.

Your privacy is important. Even though digital life often lacks it, we believe that you can take matters into your own hands and control your data. Our mission is to provide you with a tool to do exactly that.

Kill Switch

Kill Switch is a feature which helps to protect your sensitive traffic (e.g. P2P downloads). In case your VPN connection drops, the Switch disconnects you from the internet so no one can see what you were doing. To make sure that your traffic is only sent through a safe, encrypted VPN tunnel, a Kill Switch disables your internet connection on the system level if your VPN connection drops. This way, your sensitive information is always under the protection of our industry-leading encryption and security protocols.

We find that Surfshark Windows application is rather sleek and user friendly. All the necessary function is well presented within its main interface menu. Inexperienced user can simply click on the quick connect button and you are ready to go!

Surfshark offer more than 800 servers in 50 different location.
