Unfortunately, this haven’t been independently checked, so on this one, we have to take the company’s word for it that it really doesn’t log anything.ĪdGuard’s jurisdiction is Cyprus, meaning all data is protected under European GDPR rules, offering greater protection than companies basing themselves in, for example, the USA.ĪdGuard VPN doesn’t offer the option to run a “double VPN”, which services such as NordVPN do. That means that if the company was asked to provide information about who uses their service and when, they couldn’t, adding to the level of security and anonymity offered. The company says it will update this wording to address our criticism here.įrom a privacy point of view, AdGuard VPN has a no-logs policy. This limits the protection to your web browsing, but as with so many ‘VPN’ extensions, AdGuard still talks about the benefits of its VPN service and doesn’t make it clear enough (in our opinion) that the extensions are just a proxy service which doesn’t encrypt your connection like a VPN.
Alternatively there’s a browser extension available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera. In general, we’d always advise paying for a VPN, but you might like to give the free version a try before deciding whether to subscribe.įrom here, therefore, we’re looking solely at the paid product.ĪdGuard VPN is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android as a standalone app, offering whole-system protection.
That’s sufficient for most things, but if you are paying for a much higher speed from your provider, it will irk to use a product that slows your internet down. You can only use the free version for up to 3GB of data per month – which is barely enough for an HD movie, and it throttles your internet speed at 20Mbps.
As a freemium product, you can download AdGuard VPN and use it without paying.
