What is Surfshark DNS and how does it work?

Surfshark DNS is a domain name system service provided by Surfshark, which is an integral part of their VPN (Virtual Private Network) offering. When a user connects to the internet through Surfshark's VPN, their DNS requests – which translate human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses – are processed through Surfshark's private DNS servers. This setup ensures that all DNS queries are encrypted and routed through the secure tunnel established by the VPN, protecting the information from interception by third parties and preventing potential cyber threats like phishing or man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, it aids in bypassing geo-restrictions and helps enhance privacy since Surfshark does not log user activity, ensuring that someone’s online actions remain confidential.
