VPN that increases internet speeds — Transcript

Surfshark VPN can increase internet speeds using its new Dosauce protocol, which is optimized for speed and security.

Key Takeaways

  • VPNs usually slow down internet speeds, but Surfshark's Dosauce protocol can increase speeds.
  • Dosauce is a new, VPN-specific protocol optimized for speed and security.
  • Speed improvements with Surfshark VPN are possible due to better data routing than typical ISP connections.
  • The speed increase is generally modest but significant given the nature of VPNs.

Summary

  • Using a VPN typically reduces internet speed due to longer data travel distances.
  • Surfshark VPN can sometimes increase internet speeds, as demonstrated by a speed test showing an increase from 308 Mbps to 320 Mbps.
  • This speed increase is unusual and contrary to typical VPN behavior.
  • The improvement is enabled by Surfshark's new VPN protocol called Dosauce.
  • Dosauce is the first protocol specifically built for VPNs, optimized for both speed and security.
  • On average, Dosauce is 30% faster than other VPN protocols.
  • In some edge cases, the VPN connection can be faster than a direct ISP connection.
  • The name Dosauce is pronounced 'Dos', not 'Doaus' or 'Dog Sauce'.

Okay, how is this even possible? So, normally when you use a VPN, your internet speed goes down a bit. Makes sense, as you're masking your location by connecting to a different country or city. Basically, making your connection travel further than usual. But, um,

Speaker A
somehow Surfshark VPN can actually increase your internet speeds. For example, without a VPN, my download speed was 308 megabits. Then, when I did the test while connected to Surfshark, it went to 320. Granted, the increase wasn't huge, but again, this is really

Speaker A
unexpected and really unheard of, as VPNs by nature should reduce your internet speeds, not increase them. Now, this is all possible thanks to Surfshark's new VPN protocol called Dosauce. By the way, it's Dos, not Doaus or Dog Sauce. But

Speaker A
yeah, this protocol is the first protocol that is actually built for VPNs and is way more optimized for speeds and security. Hence why it's on average 30% faster than other protocols. And this is why in some edge cases it can actually

Speaker A
be faster than your non-VPN speed, as the data travels even faster than it would be using your ISP connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Surfshark VPN increase internet speeds when VPNs usually slow them down?

Surfshark uses a new VPN protocol called Dosauce, which is optimized for both speed and security. This protocol can route data more efficiently than typical ISP connections, sometimes resulting in faster speeds.

What is the Dosauce protocol?

Dosauce is Surfshark's new VPN protocol, specifically built for VPNs to optimize speed and security. It is on average 30% faster than other VPN protocols.

Is the speed increase with Surfshark VPN significant?

The speed increase is generally modest, as shown in the example where download speed increased from 308 Mbps to 320 Mbps, but it is notable because VPNs usually reduce speeds.
