AdGuard VPN

AdGuard VPN is a VPN service which provides us with all the necessary tools for us to connect to the Internet with anonymity and protected data traffic.

Surf protected by a VPN

To protect our privacy online, browsing through a VPN is one of the main tools we can resort to. There are various Android apps that provide this service, including AdGuard VPN.

Your privacy is safe

As you already know, a VPN provides access to the Internet through a proxy server that channels the traffic of your connection so that the IP shown is that of the server and not your real one. This means, and that's what all these VPN apps are about, that if you're surfing from Spain but have connected to a server in Frankfurt, the IP shown will be associated with the German city. So the main benefit is to protect ours identity, but there are two others that are very important and can be useful depending on the case:

• It allows to access content that is blocked in your region (in this case we could see content that is only available from Germany).
• Encryption of traffic that our device receives and sends.

In the case of the app presented here, it offers a free VPN connection to servers in different parts of the world (although there are others that are paid, but you have to buy the full version of the app). Simply search the list and choose the one you like best. The interface is designed to be simple, so anyone who is at least a little bit concerned about their privacy, even if they don't have advanced knowledge about networking, can take advantage of such a tool.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
