AdGuard VPN for Android v2.14: Dynamic protocol selection
A stable VPN connection starts with the right protocol. In AdGuard VPN for Android v2.14, dynamic protocol selection takes care of it for you, automatically adjusting to your network environment.
Why protocol choice matters
AdGuard VPN supports two modern protocols: HTTP2-over-TLS and HTTP3-over-QUIC. Each has its strengths, but the best choice can vary depending on your location, network conditions, and even the server you connect to.
Previously, AdGuard VPN leaned towards using QUIC by default, even in situations where HTTP2/TLS might have offered better performance. This could occasionally mean slower speeds or less stable connections for some users.
Dynamic VPN protocol selection
With the dynamic VPN protocol selection, AdGuard VPN automatically figures out which protocol — HTTP2/TLS or HTTP3/QUIC — will give you the best performance and switches to it instantly.
The option is on by default. If you’d like to check or change it, open the Settings tab and go to General → Advanced → Low-level settings → AdGuard VPN protocol and select your preferred protocol instead of Auto-select.
With Auto-select turned on, the VPN automatically adapts to network changes, reducing connection drops and speeding up downloads to provide a smoother online experience. This is particularly useful if you are in an area where VPN performance is unstable or unpredictable.
