- Secondly, VPN seemed more than relevant to our philosophy and priorities.
- Finally, during years of developing AdGuard software, we have become experts in filtering network traffic. This was to allow us to bring in something new instead of becoming another wishy-washy VPN.
From the outset, we decided that AdGuard VPN would have one key difference from its competitors — we shall develop and deploy an in-house VPN protocol instead of picking one of the ready-made solutions.
Why go to all that trouble, you could ask. In this article, we'll tell you why we weren't satisfied with existing protocols and created our own, and share our roadmap.
Spoiler: AdGuard VPN protocol is harder to detect and it's quicker than its analogs.
But first we'll need to dig deep into some technical aspects and figure out:
