Virtual private networks (VPNs) are a boon for online privacy because they keep online scammers, lurkers, and data thieves from following your digital activity back to your computer.
With nearly half of Americans using VPNs, providers’ VPN servers are also growing crowded. One of the more popular subscription-based VPNs on the market, Surfshark, just added 40% more servers to its roster, bringing the total to 4,500 spread across 100 countries.

Surfshark’s October 21 announcement on its blog post says they haven’t added any new locations that they didn’t already have, but they’ve added many more servers in several locations where they’d already had a presence, particularly in the US, UK, and Japan.
