About AdGuard VPN

AdGuard VPN is made by AdGuard, the company known for its ad blockers and DNS filtering service. It uses its own protocol, designed to look like regular HTTPS traffic so it is harder to detect and block, and pairs naturally with AdGuard's DNS filtering to block ads and trackers. The free tier gives a monthly data allowance and a limited set of locations; paid subscriptions unlock unlimited traffic and speed, every location and up to ten devices. Features include a kill switch, per-app and per-site exclusions, and browser extensions that can proxy just the browser. Its network is smaller than the big VPNs and the protocol is not a standard one like WireGuard, which matters to some users. Pricing is subscription based, with a 30-day refund on yearly or longer plans. Apps run on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Android TV, routers and major browsers. It suits people already using AdGuard who want a matching VPN.

Best for: AdGuard users who want a VPN that pairs with their ad and tracker blocking.
