| 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; 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. |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Limits |
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 | volume-quota 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. |
| Identity | email 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. |
| 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. free allowance: 3 GB per month on the free version |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an exit address, not an object |
| Retention | not applicable: a live tunnel and a rented exit address, not stored bytes |
| Interface | cli 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 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. |
