Not Via App Stores

I've noticed a marked improvement in Surfshark ever since I deleted the app I downloaded from the Play Store and directly downloaded the apk off the Surfshark website.

At the time of writing this, I've been successfully connected with no IP address slippage for 23 hours and 20 minutes which is unheard of with the app via Play Store. I was plagued by the issue of my true IP address being revealed even though the app says I'm successfully connected. I would notice this every time I've been connected for a few hours. It would suddenly reveal my real IP address when I do a manual IP address search.

Another performance boost is the clean web ad blocking aspect. With the app store version, I was getting ads on certain sites but with the apk version I'm not which has restored my faith in Surfshark.

Seems like the app store versions are nerfed and the direct from Surfshark versions are a lot more stable.
