FAQ
AdGuard VPN is a virtual private network (VPN) that is a secure tunnel between two or more devices.
Connecting to a VPN gives you an encrypted connection to the Internet. It allows you to stay private, remain secure, and access the online content you want — no matter where you are.
Proceed to the payment page and choose the plan that suits you best. We have 1-month, 1-year, or 2-year subscription options.
A VPN is a multi-purpose digital survival tool. You can use your VPN to:
Hide your real IP address, which reveals a lot about you (such as your true geolocation, comments on forums, and much more), and surf the web with added privacy
Shield yourself from snoopers & hackers on public Wi-Fi networks from accessing your files (such as messages and other private information)
Stream and download anything securely, anonymously, and with no limits
Get discounts when you shop online (local prices & special offers are sometimes more favorable)
The paid version offers several advantages over the free one:
AdGuard VPN can be used on up to 10 devices concurrently, compared to only 2 in the free version
More server locations are available
No speed limits, compared to 20 Mbps in the free version
Unlimited VPN traffic, compared to 3 GB per month in the free version
Historically, user privacy and safety have been AdGuard's top priority. It's backed up with 14 years of spotless reputation. It's inherently reflected in AdGuard VPN: we use our own fast and secure protocol and provide you with unique privacy-focused features.
We have subscriptions that are billed automatically once a month, year or two years, depending on your choice. If you have opted out of auto-renewing your subscription, you can renew it manually via your AdGuard account.
Note: Discounts applied to initial purchases do not apply to their renewals.
Yes! With the help of a DNS server. In AdGuard VPN settings, you can connect to a DNS server that best suits your needs. We recommend using AdGuard DNS: it blocks ads and trackers and protects you from malware.
Although AdGuard VPN can protect you from ads and trackers, it cannot guarantee the same level of filtering as a full-fledged ad blocker. AdGuard Ad Blocker removes ads from websites and apps, blocks analytics systems, and warns you if you're about to visit a dangerous website. Plus, it can be used together with AdGuard VPN, which is important for mobile devices.
Just use the same account to purchase another subscription: another month, year, or two years will be added to your current subscription term.
Best server locations differ depending on your reasons for using a VPN. See our suggestions below.
For anonymity:
If you need a VPN strictly for anonymity, connect to the country and city closest to you.
For changing your location:
To hide your actual location, choose any other location you want.
For faster connection:
Go to the Locations screen in the AdGuard VPN app or extension and select the Fastest option before clicking Connect to enable the VPN.
We offer our customers the possibility of a 100% refund of the purchase price of AdGuard VPN 1-year and 2-year subscriptions purchased from https://adguard-vpn.com/. For subscriptions purchased elsewhere, please check the refund policy of that particular reseller. For 1-year and 2-year subscriptions, we have a 30-day money-back guarantee. All refund requests for 1-year and 2-year subscriptions made within 30 days of purchase are granted regardless of the reason.
The corresponding subscription becomes inactive the moment the refund is issued. After 30 days of purchase, all requests are assessed individually, and the refund decision is made at the discretion of AdGuard Software Ltd. We do not grant partial refunds for subscription upgrades and renewals. Each case of a partial refund request is discussed separately between Customer and Support and granted only upon mutual agreement. To get a refund for a 1- or 2-year subscription purchased from the official website https://adguard-vpn.com/, please contact our support team: support@adguard-vpn.com.
Processing time will depend on the payment method you choose. Usually, it takes 5 to 10 business days.

You're probably reading this because you've encountered the warning "Maximum number of connections reached".
The paid AdGuard VPN subscription covers up to 10 simultaneous device connections, while the free version covers only 2.
If you've reached the limit and still need to connect more than 10 devices, you can choose between two options:
Purchase an additional AdGuard VPN subscription using a different email address.
Disconnect one of your devices from AdGuard VPN. To do so, press the Disconnect button on the corresponding device.
Yes, you can. There are two operation modes in AdGuard VPN. In General mode, VPN works everywhere except websites added to exclusions. And vice versa, in Selective mode, VPN works nowhere but on websites added to exclusions.
You can add websites to exclusions manually or choose among the lists of popular services. The lists are divided into eight categories: Social networks, Messengers, Video and Music streaming services, Games, Shopping, Search engines, and Work communication tools.
AdGuard VPN uses AES-256, the most secure and fast encryption algorithm to date. It is a block cipher with a symmetric key, which means that it requires only one secret key to encrypt and decrypt the data and divides data into blocks before encryption. AES-256 has a key length of 256 bits and is practically unbreakable by brute force based on current computing power. Learn more about AES-256 encryption
