## AdGuard VPN (Egress and tunnels)

- `egress/adguard-vpn` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category vpn tunnel (hosted subscription) | tier 1 year plan, $3.99 per month billed annually ($47.88 per year); free version 3 GB per month
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T10:11:45.779Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://adguard-vpn.com/en/license.html
- price USD 3.99 per month billed annually (USD 47.88 per year) on the 1 year plan; a subscription price, not a per-TB price | parsed USD 3.99/mo
- free tier: Free version: 'Unlimited VPN traffic, compared to 3 GB per month in the free version', up to 2 devices ('compared to only 2 in the free version') and fewer server locations. Paid: all locations, unlimited speed and traffic, up to 10 devices. | unit: GB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-11-04 | source: [1] | note: The free version needs an AdGuard account login (email, or Google, Apple or Facebook sign-in). The paid price cards: 1 month $11.99 per month, 1 year $3.99 per month billed annually, 2 years $2.99 per month billed every two years.
- per-object cap: not applicable: an exit address, not an object | source: [1] | note: No object is stored; the constraints are the free 3 GB per month and the device counts in limits.
- retention: not applicable: a live tunnel and a rented exit address, not stored bytes | source: [2] | note: The vendor's privacy page says it does not collect logs on VPN servers; no byte retention applies.
- egress: Paid plans list 'Unlimited traffic' and 'Unlimited speed'; the free version is '3 GB per month'. No overage price exists because the paid plan is unmetered; no byte was counted through a tunnel. | metered: yes | free allowance: 3 GB per month on the free version | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: An AdGuard account is needed even for the free version: 'first you need to log into your AdGuard account', by email or via Google, Apple ID or Facebook; 'We need your email address to register an AdGuard account and log you in.' A paid purchase takes an email address plus 'bank cards, PayPal, and cryptocurrency'. No phone number or identity document is asked on the pages read.
- interface: cli
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): Free version: '3 GB per month'; paid plans: 'Unlimited traffic' [1]
  - request-rate: 10 simultaneous devices on paid plans, 2 on the free version [1]
- limits note: Port forwarding and the BitTorrent rule are stated on no AdGuard VPN page read: unverified. Server locations on the paid plan are '75+' per the vendor home page.
- binding note: On the free version the 3 GB monthly traffic cap fails first; on the paid plan no byte quota is stated and the 10-device cap is the first stated limit. No rate was measured.
- interface detail: AdGuard VPN CLI (adguardvpn-cli) on Linux with a TUN mode and a SOCKS5 mode; apps for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS and browser extensions. The SOCKS5 mode is a local proxy on 127.0.0.1:1080 by default; the vendor documents no remote SOCKS5 endpoint with credentials.
- tooling: The vendor's CLI on a Linux machine gives a local SOCKS5 proxy (TCP and UDP) that any client on that machine can use; the apps and extensions cover the other platforms. The CLI's protocol option is HTTP2, QUIC or automatic.
- composes with: A compute node runs the CLI in SOCKS5 mode and sends requests to 127.0.0.1:1080, so they leave at the chosen location's address; a Worker cannot reach that loopback proxy, so it needs a node in front of it.
- reliability: The 1 year card shows a struck-through $11.99 per month and a '-67%' badge, so the $3.99 may be a promotional rate that the page can change. unverified: no exit-IP registry class was measured.
- notes: Derived: $3.99 per month x 12 months = $47.88 per year. The 1 year card shows a struck-through $11.99 per month and a '-67%' badge. The protocol is the vendor's own, TrustTunnel, over HTTP/2 or HTTP/3; there is no WireGuard or OpenVPN option named on the pages read. Port forwarding: unverified: no AdGuard VPN page read states port forwarding. BitTorrent rule: unverified: no AdGuard VPN page read states a BitTorrent or P2P rule.
- evidence note: Documented from the vendor's licence page, home page and knowledge base as served. Measured would need an account, a tunnel brought up in each mode and a byte count against the 3 GB free cap.
