I'm surprised that the browser extension to block ads has a proprietary vpn-like protocol. WTF?

One interesting thing I’ve noticed is that AdGuard means different things in different parts of the world. In some places, people know us primarily as an ad blocker, in others we’re best known for our DNS service and in some regions AdGuard is associated almost exclusively with our VPN. The reality is that AdGuard makes several different products, not just one.

I'm an American. I knew about the VPN service, but mostly associate your brand with the DNS services and lists you provide (thank you!).

And AdGuard Home is a wonderful alternative to Pi-hole :)

Yay, thank you! :)

I wish we finish with redesigning it nicely this year and finally after all those years we will finally call it v1.0

		Wow! Am I about to live to see the day?! I've been following the releases fairly closely, and looking forward to it.

One of my first experiences with adguard was using it to block ads on an unrooted phone. It pipes your connection through a local vpn to do it.
