Pourquoi AdGuard VPN est la meilleure option
When getting ready to commit to a long-term VPN subscription, users most frequently evaluate its speed, security, and price. Ce sont des points très importants mais il y a tellement plus à dire ! AdGuard VPN dispose d'une dizaine d'atouts clés qui en font "la meilleure option".
Pour commencer, passons en revue les fonctionnalités inégalées de AdGuard VPN que vous ne trouverez dans aucun autre VPN.
1. Protocole propriétaire
Dès le départ, nous avons décidé de développer et de déployer un protocole VPN interne au lieu de choisir une solution prédéfinie - ce serait trop facile, de plus, nous n'étions pas satisfaits des protocoles existants. The result has become the AdGuard VPN protocol.
En choisissant un service VPN, les gens sont souvent confrontés au choix d'un compromis entre la rapidité et la sécurité. The AdGuard VPN protocol is a perfect blend of speed and security, so you don’t have to bear slow Internet connection or make privacy sacrifices. Entre autres choses, il se déguise en trafic ordinaire et il est beaucoup plus difficile de le détecter et de le bloquer.
2. Website and app exclusions
There are situations where you don't need your VPN to be active: for instance, when you're ordering food or using maps. For this reason, AdGuard VPN has a special feature: Exclusions.
You can activate AdGuard VPN selectively — only for certain websites or apps. This option is for those who use a VPN service only in specific situations: to enter a blocked website, use an app or watch a TV show that's not available in their country, or not to expose their data when visiting some websites. Turning a VPN on selectively also helps save VPN traffic.
If you prefer absolute anonymity in most cases, you can activate AdGuard VPN everywhere except for the excluded websites or apps. Just add your food delivery apps and utility payment websites to Exclusions — for them, VPN will be off.
3. Block ads and trackers with a DNS server
Relying on the DNS server provided by your ISP by default is not safe: your ISP most likely has access to your browsing history. With the AdGuard VPN app, you can choose a secure and encrypted DNS server from known DNS providers, such as AdGuard DNS, Cisco, Cloudflare, Google, or Quad9, or even add your own DNS server.
We recommend using an AdGuard DNS server: it blocks ads and trackers and protects your device from malware.
4. Localisations les plus rapides
Another feature that makes AdGuard VPN stand out from the crowd is that you can select a location based on its ping. In a nutshell, ping is the time it takes the data packet sent from your device to reach the server and return. When in doubt, use a rule of thumb: the lower the ping, the closer the server, the higher its speed. We are constantly expanding the number of locations so that you can choose from a variety.
To access all VPN server locations, you need to purchase an AdGuard VPN subscription.
5. Integration with AdGuard Ad Blocker
With desktop apps and web browser extensions, there are rarely conflicts between apps, except for antiviruses and other similar types of software.
With mobile devices, hovewer, it’s not that simple. In the vast majority of cases, two VPN-based apps will not work together. Both in Android and iOS, there are limitations that prevent it.
However, we managed to find a solution to befriend AdGuard VPN and AdGuard Ad Blocker. When you have both AdGuard apps installed on one device, they will automatically become compatible without any input required from you. This is a unique opportunity to take advantage of two sets of features, which you would normally have to choose between.
6. Prise en charge de QUIC
QUIC is a cutting-edge protocol that has many perks. The main advantage is it can improve the connection quality in non-ideal conditions — for example, on mobile devices or when connecting to public Wi-Fi. Although the new protocol won’t affect speed when the connection is fine and stable, it will definitely make the situation better for users with slow Internet.
The QUIC protocol is rather new and may be unstable. We cannot guarantee its complete reliability for every case.
Now let’s switch to the item set that any decent VPN can't do without.
7. Kill Switch
Kill Switch is essential if you, for instance, often use a mobile network or connect to public Wi-Fi networks in malls, cafes, on the subway or at the airport. For the simple reason that if your VPN suddenly fails and the connection becomes insecure, chances are your sensitive information will be exposed to fraudsters or cyber criminals.
If for some reason your VPN connection is interrupted, Kill Switch will automatically disconnect you from the Internet, keeping attackers away from seizing your information.
8. Auto-protection
This feature has been developed specifically for unsecured networks. If you enable Auto-protection, you won't ever forget to enable VPN when visiting public places. Should you pop into a coffee shop and connect to a local Wi-Fi network, you’ll be automatically connected to AdGuard VPN.
Auto-protection is available in AdGuard VPN for iOS and Android.
9. Ten simultaneous connections
With an AdGuard VPN subscription, you can connect up to ten devices simultaneously.
Some VPN providers only allow to log in to their service on ten devices max. With AdGuard VPN, it doesn't matter on how many devices you log in to your AdGuard account, but you can have ten VPN connections enabled at the same time.
Those who don’t have a subscription, can use AdGuard VPN on two devices simultaneously, which gives us another trump card to play against competitors: most free VPN services only allow you to use one device at a time.
10. Secure streaming
Streaming services don't like VPNs for obvious reasons: according to statistics, about 20% of users install a VPN mainly to watch shows, TV shows and movies bypassing geo-blocking. That's why streaming platforms tend to do everything they can to track VPN traffic and block it.
But what if you want to feel safe while watching content specific to your region? Or don't want to stop watching exciting series even when you travel to another country? The answer is simple — AdGuard VPN, which thanks to its unique protocol can remain invisible to services.
We don't endorse the use of AdGuard VPN to bypass copyright regulations.
11. Dark mode
This little feature deserves special mention. In fact, many users crave for dark mode, so we couldn’t ignore it and added a theme switch for all AdGuard VPN products. Choose the one you like more — light, dark or system default. Hope you’ll join the dark side.
