is there a way to get an updated mac app, without the app store?

Long story short i'm not a fan of the apple ecosystem and use a mac without an apple account. The apple silicone mac app you download directly on the website is an old version with only wireguard and ikev2 for protocol options, that can't be auto updated to the latest version and everything breaks if you use bypasser. The app store version is newer and works apparently, but I refuse to add an apple account, so this makes surfshark pretty useless to me on mac 😞

surfshark kills my dns on macos (15.6.1)

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts re: this. been using surfshark on my windows and android devices no problem. Installed it on my M3 macbook today and upon connecting to any server, it instantly kills dns.

I can ping external IP's. Tried different protocols, killswitch is off, added some other custom dns resolvers to the conection via macos settings. And nope. Kills DNS every time.

I've also tried flushing DNS and resetting the interface via terminal, no change.

Surfshark version says it's fully up to date at 4.27.0

edit: after further testing i've found it's specifically the bypasser, if I turn it on it kills dns at a system level for everything, in the bypass list or not. So it works with bypasser off but that's not exactly ideal.

Bit confused by the every three hours rule?

We have a 4 day old baby, hospital told us to feed him every 3 hours at the longest if he doesn't fuss for food sooner, (he doesn't more often than not) but I've found conflicting info online on whether that should be from when he starts, or finishes eating. He lost a bit of weight in the hospital (but he's still not underweight) solely breastfeeding and they advised us to top up after every breastfeeding with formula which we've been doing, but he'll take 40+ minutes to finish his breast feeding, have 20-30 ml of formula as a top up , at which point a solid hour will have passed, and then we're waking him up again in two hours since the majority of sources seem to indicate you count from when they start feeding, is this right?

Popping up pointless "tip" notifications under the actual valuable connection notification category is going to make me not renew my sub..

What utter bullshit. And I get new notification alerts for this crap unless I disable my connection time/location notification? What the actual fuck.
