Ninja-themed VPN

AdGuard VPN is a free-to-use privacy and security software developed by AdGuard Software Limited. With the tagline “Browse like a ninja,” this VPN service allows users to surf the internet with fortified security. Like the typical VPN, this one allows users to remain anonymous and change their location to any part of the world.

AdGuard VPN offers the staple features found in many VPN services such as Turbo VPN, StrongVPN, and IPVanish. However, this VPN application stands out for its 10 years of spotless reputation and its use of its own fast and secure protocol to offer excellent security.

Not your average VPN

The AdGuard team decided to create their own VPN protocol to solve two problems: app incompatibility and speed drops resulting from obfuscation. Their proprietary protocol, the AdGuard VPN protocol, allows the app to work with other VPN apps and disguises users’ VPN traffic as regular traffic without causing a significant hit on speeds. This protocol, coupled with AES-256 encryption and HTTPS/2 protocol makes it a powerful VPN.

It offers an automatic kill switch that can come in handy in various situations. Moreover, it allows torrenting and works with the largest streaming service, Netflix. It has servers in over 52 locations around the globe. Its robust feature set and specifications allows this VPN to cater to both power users and beginners. It’s easy to use while still offering advanced features.

This VPN’s protocol allows it to be reliable while still keeping network speeds close to the original. Users will rarely experience speed dips, and even if they do, it won’t be significant. More importantly, it follows a no-logging policy. Unfortunately, the developers aren’t offering a free trial for all of these features. Some can also notice the absence of a live chat feature and an option to pay with crypto.

Why should you use it?

With the VPN market so saturated, it’s hard to distinguish oneself from the competition, but AdGuard VPN does exactly just that. By creating its own powerful proprietary stealth protocol and supporting it with a set of useful features, this VPN has an edge over its peers. Most of all, it doesn’t collect or share user data, so they can be assured their data is safe.
