Resumen de características
Qué hace AdGuard VPN para Windows
Protege de la interceptación del tráfico de red (spoofing). AdGuard VPN crea un túnel cifrado entre su dispositivo y un servidor remoto. Todo el tráfico de Internet pasa por este túnel, por lo que tus datos están protegidos en todo momento. And thanks to AdGuard's unique protocol, you're guaranteed a fast and secure connection.
Enmascara su dirección IP. Su verdadera dirección IP es la clave de sus datos personales para los ciberdelincuentes. Su nombre, dirección de correo electrónico, número de teléfono, información de tarjeta de crédito pueden caer en manos de estafadores si no oculta su IP. With AdGuard VPN, all your traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel and comes to the VPN server. The web server registers the IP address of the endpoint of the tunnel, i.e. the VPN server, and not the device's real IP address.
Oculta su ubicación real. ¿Qué le da esto? Por ejemplo, la capacidad de reservar un hotel a las tarifas de los lugareños u ocultarse de la publicidad geodirigida.
AdGuard VPN for Windows has many advantages, so we've dedicated a separate article to them. Aquí, sin embargo, queremos centrarnos más en la aplicación en sí y en cómo funciona.
Cómo empezar a usar AdGuard VPN para Windows
Para comenzar a usar AdGuard VPN para Windows, descarga la aplicación desde nuestro sitio web. La instalación no lleva más de un minuto, y verás una ventana de diálogo en la que tendrás que marcar al menos una casilla para aplicar los términos del Acuerdo de Usuario y la Política de Privacidad. And it's up to you to decide whether you want AdGuard to collect anonymized data about your app usage. Por último, el programa le pedirá que inicie sesión, ya sea a través de la Cuenta de AdGuard o a través de las redes sociales (Apple, Google, Facebook). Eso es todo, ahora puede usar AdGuard VPN para Windows.
Pantalla de inicio
The most noticeable item on the Home screen is the AdGuard VPN Connect/Disconnect button, below which you can see the selected server. On the right side of the screen you will see a list of available locations. La ubicación más rápida, es decir, la que tiene el ping más bajo, se muestra en la parte superior de la lista. There is also a refresh button that you can click if any locations are offline.
At the top of the screen there is a navigation panel with five tabs: Home, Exclusions, Stats, Support, and Settings.
Exclusiones
By default, AdGuard VPN for Windows works everywhere. You can add websites and apps you want to exclude from the VPN tunnel to the list of exclusions. Or, you can make AdGuard VPN work only on the websites and apps specified in the list of exclusions. Please note that these two lists are independent of each other.
Puedes agregar sitios web a exclusiones manualmente ingresando sus nombres de dominio. La aplicación también te ofrece la opción de elegir sitios web populares de la lista.
When adding domains manually, you should take into account certain details. For example, if you manually exclude the domain google.com, all the subdomains *.google.com will also be added to the exclusions list. However, domain names with other top-level domains such as google.es or google.it will not be excluded. Or you can add youtube.com to the exclusions, but the domain of the same service youtu.be will not be included in the list.
We recommend using the From the list option. Websites are grouped into eight categories: Social networks, Messengers, Video and Music streaming services, Games, Shopping, Search engines, and Work communication tools. We have placed the most popular services there, including all domain names and subdomains related to each platform.
Starting with the version 2.4, all browsers are automatically added to the list of exclusions when the VPN is active only for selected apps and websites. This change brings more convenience for users who were often confused and didn’t know whether to consider their browsers as apps or not. It applies under the following conditions:
- The user has installed AdGuard VPN for the first time
- The user did not modify the Exclusions settings prior to v2.4
Importar/exportar listas de exclusión
To export the list of exclusions from AdGuard VPN for Windows to your computer, click Export exclusions, select the folder where the list will be stored and click Save. The archive exclusions.zip with two .txt files will be downloaded, one for each of the lists. You can edit them by adding new exclusions or deleting old ones.
On the destination device, open AdGuard VPN, click Exclusions, and select Websites or Apps. Click Import exclusions and select the received archive.
Stats
The Statistics screen shows detailed information about your data usage, categorized by both location and app. It highlights your most frequently used locations and applications. You can access statistics for different time periods: daily, monthly, or for the entire time you have been using AdGuard VPN for Windows.
Crucially, all this information is stored exclusively on your device, ensuring that only you can view it. Access to the statistics feature is available only to AdGuard VPN subscribers.
Configuración
The fourth tab contains sections that will help you customize the app.
Configuración de la app
In the App settings section, you can set the app language and also enable Kill Switch, which will block access to the Internet if your VPN connection drops. This is needed to prevent intruders from getting to your data if you find yourself without VPN protection while connected to a public Wi-Fi or mobile network.
You can also activate the following features with a single click: Auto-update, Launch AdGuard VPN at Windows startup, Auto-connect on app launch, and allow AdGuard to collect anonymous app usage data so that the AdGuard team gets the info on potential usability issues. Here you can also change the theme to Light, System, or Dark.
At the bottom of the page there are two sections: DNS servers and Advanced settings.
Servidores DNS
The DNS servers tab allows you to add your own DNS server — manually or from the list. You can set up a DNS server by any provider. We recommend adding AdGuard DNS, a server that can protect against advertising, tracking, and phishing, in addition to the standard functions.
Configuración avanzada
It is entirely possible to use AdGuard VPN for Windows without ever touching the Advanced settings, but they can be useful if you're willing to take time to learn what they do.
Modo de funcionamiento
Despite the fact that there are two operating modes — VPN and SOCKS5 — we advise you to use only the one chosen by default (VPN). When the VPN mode is enabled, all the traffic of your device will be directed via AdGuard VPN, while in SOCKS5 mode AdGuard VPN uses a local proxy server which can be used by other applications to redirect their traffic.
Nivel de registro
Two levels of logging are available to choose from: Record by default and Record everything. The first option is enabled by default. The Record everything option should only be activated if our support team has asked you to do so. Using the app in this mode for an extended period of time result in increased battery consumption.
All logs are stored locally on your device, and you can send them to the support team if needed.
Usar QUIC
This is an experimental feature that enables AdGuard to use the advanced QUIC encryption protocol. It has many advantages, but the most notable one is that it can improve connection quality under non-ideal conditions, for example, when using mobile Internet or when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.
Use WinTun
WinTun is a traffic routing driver commonly used for VPN implementations on Windows that improves the quality of VPN connections by creating a virtual network adapter. By default AdGuard VPN uses the regular WFP driver (and TDI driver for Windows 7).
Subnet exclusions
This feature allows you to add subnets to exclude traffic from specific devices connected to your network. For example, your robot vacuum cleaner.
