## What is AdGuard VPN for Android?

A VPN is an ideal tool that provides security and anonymity each time you browse the Internet. [How does it work?](/general/how-vpn-works.md) Without going into technical details, we can say that VPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between the user's computer or mobile device and a remote VPN server. In this way, data confidentiality is preserved, as well as the anonymity of the user, because a third-party observer sees the IP address of the VPN server and not the actual user's IP.

**VPN is frequently used for:**

- Keeping personal data safe even while using public Wi-Fi
- Preventing online activity tracking by masking the IP address
- Hiding the real geolocation to remain anonymous

## What is AdGuard VPN for iOS?

A VPN allows you to create a secure connection to another network on the Internet. It connects a user's computer or mobile device to a server and allows one to browse the net using someone else's IP address. So if the VPN server is located in a different country, it will appear that you have connected to the Internet from that country.

## What AdGuard VPN for Windows does

- Protects from network traffic interception (spoofing). AdGuard VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a remote server. All your Internet traffic passes through this tunnel, so your data is protected along the way. And thanks to [AdGuard's unique protocol](/general/adguard-vpn-protocol.mdx), you're guaranteed a fast and secure connection.

And thanks to [AdGuard's unique protocol](/general/adguard-vpn-protocol), you're guaranteed a fast and secure connection.

- Masks your IP address. Your true IP address is the key to your personal data for cybercriminals. Your name, email address, phone number, credit card information can all fall into the hands of fraudsters if you don't hide your IP. With AdGuard VPN, as we said before, all your traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel and comes to the VPN server. Therefore, from the outside it appears that your device has the IP address of said VPN server.

- Hides your real location. By selecting any of the AdGuard VPN servers, you are instantly "teleported" to its location. What does this give you? For example, the ability to book a hotel at locals' rates or hide from geotargeted advertising.
