how's it going everybody welcome back and today we're going to be talking about the security
features of surf shark so before we get in if at any point you'd like to check for links or
discounts you'll find the links in the description down below as well as a full review that'll give
you more of an in-depth look into the privacy policy speed streaming taunting capabilities as
well as security and features so of course if we're talking about security we have to start
by mentioning that surf shark definitely is using the top grade aes 256 encryption with an rsa
2048-bit handshake key and now with regards to protocols you may know that we have a handful of
protocols here with surfshark um so ikev2 openvpn both udp and tcp socks and wire guard now you can
definitely use the automatic but i don't like using automatic because you know one day it
might use wire guard another day you might use ikev2 so for the sake of consistency i like to
use just one protocol and that'll be the wireguard protocol 99.99 percent of the time you're going to
be using wireguard protocol without any trouble of course you can use ikev2 if you would like but
this is completely replaced by wireguard again uh ikv2 is still quick though openvpn tcp and udp
are the most secure protocols as far as we know they're the most audited protocols so if you're
going for security you can definitely go ahead and use these open vpn having
a very good encryption and if you're like if you'd like to kind of even
almost double that encryption you can use the tcp but of course your speed will be sacrificed here
for sure by about fifty percent if not more uh the shadow sox protocol will allow you to reach banned
websites if you're in a country uh where there are a bunch of banned websites such as turkey uae
and china shadowstocks will help you bypass such restrictions so that you can reach such websites
and uh of course uh that yeah that would be it for protocols again wireguard protocol would just be
the best option you can even combine the wireguard protocol with no borders mode uh and by the way
with shadowstocks you're only securing your browser traffic so keep that in mind so i would
definitely recommend using wireguard protocol with no borders mode if you would like to back bypass a
censorship firewall such as the great firewall of china um another thing is you do have
the uh kill switch split tunneling and clean web so you know you've got a good selection
of protocol of security features excuse me so if you didn't know the kill switch will
terminate your internet connection if your vpn happens to lose its own connection so that will
help you kind of um not leak any information out to your isp so that they don't know what
you're doing on the internet especially if you're in a restrictive country that will be
uh of great help and whitelister is pretty much split telling which will give you the ability to
choose which applications you would like or you know websites or ip addresses for that matter
uh and you can choose exactly which websites or applications you would like the vpn to use or
bypass which can be very helpful so of course what you could do with whitelister split telling is
uh for example only have your uh torrenting client to be affected by your vpn while leaving
the rest of your network untouched so it could be useful uh in more than one way um another thing
is you do have an ad blocker which will block ads trackers and malware and uh this will especially
uh be proved to be useful ad blocking for example you could combine that with ublocker or or the ad
blocker that you would use on your browser as far as malware and trackers it does do a good job of
course you know it's not going to be as good as a dedicated antivirus software but it does do the uh
job and of course lastly we have static ip and multi-hop multi-hop will route your connection
through two servers and ip addresses rather than one for extra security so this can be uh very
useful for those of you that just want to double up on security um of course you've got dns and
webrtc leak blocking so for more info information on that you'll find what you need in the
description down below in the review uh where we show the results of a dns leak of course there's
never been any leaks so you don't have to worry about that in addition to perfect forward secrecy
which is also implemented in surfshark which means that a piece of an encryption system automatically
and frequently changes the keys it uses to encrypt and decrypt information such that if the latest
key is compromised it exposes only a small portion of the user's sensitive data which is
very very useful uh so with regards to of course um security this is as good as it gets really
surf shark is quite a bit secure and finally if i didn't mention of course a dedicated ip
doesn't have to do much with security rather than utility so if this is something you need
for example if you need to go back to the same ip address over and over again these can the static
ip servers can be very helpful especially when banking for example uh so yeah that'll be it for
