Surfshark VPN Adds FastTrack to Boost Speeds up to 70%

VPNs, or virtual private networks, are boons to personal privacy and anonymity online. I recommend them wholeheartedly to everyone, not just those engaged in risky work online. The downside is that they do slow down your connection.

Surfshark, one of the better VPNs out there, just introduced a feature called FastTrack that claims to boost your connection speeds on VPN up to 70% compared to a conventional VPN connection.
