Releases: AdguardTeam/AdGuardVPNForWindows
2.9
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.
In this update, we have further expanded the accessibility features of AdGuard VPN for Windows to make it more user-friendly. Our journey towards making the app as inclusive as possible began in v2.8, and now it continues in v2.9.
Accessibility support for more sections
In this version, we’ve added accessibility support for the Settings, App settings, DNS servers, and Support sections. Now visually impaired users can rely on screen readers to understand the available options and get helpful information. This is another step in our ongoing efforts to make AdGuard VPN comfortable for all users.
Let’s take a quick look at how exactly this could help users.
Support section
The Support section now works correctly with assistive technologies. Interface elements include voice descriptions and can be fully navigated without using a mouse.
This means that now users with visual impairment can navigate the section without relying on visual cues to find helpful information and contact support.
Settings → App settings
Settings are one of the most important sections when using a VPN. Now users with visual or motor impairments can clearly understand which settings they’re changing, control how the app behaves on their own, and customize their VPN experience without outside assistance.
DNS servers
DNS servers can be used to improve security and overall Internet experience. And now, this section is fully accessible to users who previously couldn’t use it properly due to interface limitations.

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.
AdGuard VPN for Windows now has dynamic VPN protocol selection — a feature that automatically picks the fastest and most stable protocol (HTTP2/TLS or HTTP3/QUIC) for your connection. This improves VPN speed and stability, which is particularly helpful in regions where VPN usage is restricted or unreliable.
This option is enabled by default. To change it, open Settings → App settings → Advanced settings → Miscellaneous → AdGuard VPN protocol and select your preferred protocol instead of Auto-select.
We’ve also updated the VPN client, making the app more stable and reliable overall.
