AdGuard VPN for Windows 2.7

AdGuard VPN for Windows now has dynamic VPN protocol selection — a feature that automatically picks the fastest and most stable protocol (HTTP2/TLS or HTTP3/QUIC) for your connection. This improves VPN speed and stability, which is particularly helpful in regions where VPN usage is restricted or unreliable.

This option is enabled by default. To change it, open Settings → App settings → Advanced settings → Miscellaneous → AdGuard VPN protocol and select your preferred protocol instead of Auto-select.

We’ve also updated the VPN client, making the app more stable and reliable overall.

AdGuard VPN for Mac 2.8

This version brings important under-the-hood improvements, including an updated VPN client that boosts connection stability, speed, and overall performance.

We’re also preparing AdGuard VPN for Mac to be available on the Mac App Store. To meet Apple’s requirements, we’ve started adapting the app to use the Packet Tunnel Network Extension — Apple’s system framework for managing VPN connections on macOS. You won’t notice these changes right away, but they lay the groundwork for future updates.

AdGuard VPN for Windows 2.8

This update brings several meaningful improvements to AdGuard VPN for Windows. We’ve introduced accessibility features so more people can use the app comfortably.

Accessibility support​

We’ve taken another step toward making AdGuard VPN more inclusive. In this version, we’ve added accessibility support for the home, authorization, and onboarding screens: you can now rely on screen readers for clear descriptions of icons, buttons, and dynamic elements. These improvements are just the beginning, we will continue to make AdGuard VPN even more comfortable for all users.

AdGuard VPN for Windows 2.9

In this update, we have further expanded the accessibility features of AdGuard VPN for Windows to make it more user-friendly. Our journey towards making the app as inclusive as possible began in v2.8, and now it continues in v2.9.

Accessibility support for more sections​

In this version, we’ve added accessibility support for the Settings, App settings, DNS servers, and Support sections. Now visually impaired users can rely on screen readers to understand the available options and get helpful information. This is another step in our ongoing efforts to make AdGuard VPN comfortable for all users.

Let’s take a quick look at how exactly this could help users.

Support section​

The Support section now works correctly with assistive technologies. Interface elements include voice descriptions and can be fully navigated without using a mouse.

This means that now users with visual impairment can navigate the section without relying on visual cues to find helpful information and contact support.

Settings → App settings​

Settings are one of the most important sections when using a VPN. Now users with visual or motor impairments can clearly understand which settings they’re changing, control how the app behaves on their own, and customize their VPN experience without outside assistance.

DNS servers​

DNS servers can be used to improve security and overall Internet experience. And now, this section is fully accessible to users who previously couldn’t use it properly due to interface limitations.

AdGuard VPN for Mac 2.9

AdGuard VPN for Mac v2.9 focuses on improving accessibility and smoother visual integration with macOS. We’ve also raised the minimum supported macOS version to keep the app aligned with the latest system capabilities. It might not seem like much at first glance — but let’s take a closer look at what’s changed.

Accessibility improvements​

This release marks a significant step toward making AdGuard VPN for Mac more accessible to everyone. We’ve expanded accessibility support across key sections and screens, including Settings, App settings, DNS servers, Authorization, Support, Home, Onboarding, and Promo. These improvements enhance compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Dark app icon support​

AdGuard VPN now supports a dark app icon in macOS, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your system’s appearance.

Updated system requirements​

Starting with version 2.9, AdGuard VPN for Mac requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later.

In this update, Exclusions take center stage: you can now add not only apps but also other programs, such as system and command-line tools that run in the background or from the Terminal.

Out of interest I just gave this a try as I have a long license still, the main issue really is it gives around a third of the speed of other more expensive VPN's (346) connected to the same city such as Manchester UK, I get 900 with Mullvad/AIR etc, which makes paying for a fast connection a bit pointless? However if you don't mind that it does work, I could also live without the Ninja cartoon picture that wastes space in the GUI & is pointless - Often you get what you pay for.
