Surfshark launches a privacy-first web content blocker

Surfshark has launched a new feature called the web content blocker that focuses on safeguarding every household when browsing online. It allows you to filter various websites based on categories provided, lock them using 2FA (Two-factor Authentication), and help protect family members from potential online threats caused by curiosity or carelessness.

Unlike traditional tracking applications, the web content blocker helps you protect family members from seeing malicious content and websites — without snooping on their browsing activity or monitoring the actual websites they visit. With this new feature, you can filter various websites by category and lock specific content across all family mobile devices.

To extend this protection to your household, install and open the Surfshark app on the device you’d like to add, log in using the same account, enable Web content blocker, and lock with 2FA if needed. Then, under the Web content blocker feature on the Surfshark website app, you can find the Your devices section, where you can select content categories and ensure a safe online environment for your loved ones.

The web content blocker is now available on Android and iOS platforms for Surfshark One or One+ plan users — more platforms are coming soon.

Additionally, Surfshark announces that its server count has surpassed 4,500. Over the years, Surfshark has continually upgraded its server network to enhance performance and reliability, and this figure reflects its growth.
