About this APK
Surf VPN is an app by 2017 XSoft inc in the Tools category. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.
Since version 1.1.0.118, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 4.4. It asks for 13 permissions, 1 of them sensitive: see all installed apps. Compared with version 1.1.0.118, it adds 8 new permissions (“See all installed apps”, “Access adservices ad id”, “Access adservices attribution” and 5 more) and drops 4 (“View Wi-Fi connections”, “Read shared storage”, “Modify shared storage” and “Receive push notifications”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

Is there a version of Surf VPN for older Android phones?
