Disclaimer: AdGuard VPN for Windows is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This update enhances AdGuard VPN with three core improvements. First, there is a new startup window toggle. Second, the application now opens 10 times faster. Third, we’ve improved network stability.
New toggle for startup behavior
We’ve all been there: you reboot your computer, expecting a fresh start, but instead face a parade of apps restarting. AdGuard VPN now offers a cleaner startup with the new Open main window at system startup toggle. If you switch it off, the app will still run in the background, maintaining full protection without interruptions.
To check the new settings, go to Settings → App settings → System startup → Open main window at system startup. This feature is part of our ongoing effort to adapt AdGuard VPN to you, not the other way around.
Reopen time optimization
Although closing AdGuard VPN by clicking the X button worked flawlessly, we noticed that reopening the application from the desktop icon took a bit longer than it should. This micro delay is history. Now, when you click the desktop icon now, AdGuard VPN opens in just 0.2–0.3 seconds instead of 2–2.5 seconds.
We’ve also enhanced the VPN client to provide stronger stability, smarter adaptability, and optimized efficiency. Now the VPN handles network interference more effectively, keeping your connection stable when it matters most.
