Dausos Prootcol

[ArmatoAnthony]

Surfshark has a new protocol which allows faster connection speeds than WiteGuard. Are you planning on introducing this to your devices so we can take advantage of this on your devices ?

Most VPN protocols were never built with you in mind. We decided it was time to redefine what a VPN protocol could be — and built one specifically for VPN users, from the ground up.

Introducing Dausos — Surfshark’s proprietary, next-generation VPN protocol:
• Up to 30% faster than WireGuard;
• State-of-the-art AEGIS-256X2 encryption;
• Fully post-quantum secure;
• Dedicated tunnel for every user.

Built with security and performance in mind, Dausos sets a new industry standard — and it’s now live.

For now, Dausos is available only on macOS. Read more about Dausos in the link below.

Built with security and performance in mind, Dausos sets a new industry standard — and it’s now live.

I don't think they really can become a industry standard.

here is why:

the vpn industry is based around people who want to surf anonymously on the web especially considered surfshark audience, they don't target bussinesses.

the problem is, you need to explain your audience transparancy, and that is why most of the vpn protocols are open source.

so here comes the issue

from their wiki I read:

What is the Dausos protocol?

Dausos is Surfshark’s proprietary VPN protocol designed specifically for consumer VPN use. Unlike traditional protocols that route multiple users through shared tunnels, Dausos assigns each connection a dedicated data tunnel, keeping user traffic isolated.

The protocol is built to provide faster speeds, strong encryption, and efficient use of system resources. In supported conditions, Dausos can deliver higher connection speeds compared to industry‑standard VPN protocols.

NOTE: Dausos is currently available in the macOS App Store version of the Surfshark app.

so it is proprietary.... so there is no source code, and also no transparancy it will be instant a issue for adding this in the software

the problem also is, how long will it cease to exist or will it be forgotten?

I'm also looking to Mullvad Daita which is open source btw, but also there I see it isn't gaining much traction from outside their software because most of the things are also things which can be replaced by amneziawg.

also on the Wireguard side of things, I'm pretty confident things like quantum cryptography will also make it through in Wireguard, it just needs some time.

for now you can leverage PSK keys and it is pretty close to that, there are also some forks like rosenpass.

my trust is more on these non profit organizations than those vpn companies to be honest

Hi,

As mentioned by xize11, this protocol is proprietary.
So at the moment, we’re unable to integrate it into the router—unless Surfshark open-sources it or releases an OpenWRT client in the future.
