"Dausos uses AEGIS-256X2 instead of the widely used AES-GCM, providing a separate, dedicated traffic tunnel for each user. This aims to create a cleaner, more streamlined experience."
"When users share a tunnel, one user's traffic load can interfere with another's, meaning your packets get handled slower because the server is busy processing other users' packets."
Surfshark has introduced Dausos, a proprietary VPN protocol aimed at improving speed and security for consumer-grade VPNs. Unlike traditional protocols that share tunnels among users, Dausos provides each user with a dedicated tunnel, reducing the risk of traffic contamination. It utilizes AEGIS-256X2 encryption, distinguishing itself from commonly used AES-GCM. Initial tests show promise, but performance still lags behind WireGuard. Dausos is designed specifically for consumer use, addressing limitations of existing protocols that were adapted from other applications.
