This release is part of a major AdGuard VPN update for all (seven!) platforms and it is ready to amaze you! The most significant new feature of this version is the completely reimagined Exclusions section: now you can add Internet services with all their subdomains to Exclusions lists in just one click! Also we’ve added DNS filtering to AdGuard VPN to make you browse the web even safer. The other changes are less noticeable but no less important: we fixed some bugs that were preventing you from enjoying AdGuard VPN and updated the VPN client.
[Enhancement] Exclusions 2.0
Exclusions 2.0 — the name itself reflects the extent of the changes that the section came through. Previously you could only add sites to Exclusions by entering their domains manually, but now you can do it in one click.
We divided the most popular Internet services into eight categories, such as Shopping, Social Networks, and Streaming Music Services, and added all their subdomains (e.g., *.google.com) and domain names with different top-level domains (e.g., google.de). That way, when you click the “Add” button beside any service, you add all addresses associated with it to the Exclusions. Convenient, isn’t it? And one more thing to mention here: now it is possible to add third-level domains to Exclusions lists.
[Enhancement] Custom DNS support
Finally, this feature is implemented in AdGuard VPN!
What does it mean for you? From now you needn't rely on a DNS server provided by your ISP by default, you can add a custom DNS server (or servers). We recommend adding AdGuard DNS, which not only encrypts your DNS traffic but also identifies requests to malicious sites and redirects them to a “blackhole”.

Breaking into 2022 with great news: the beta version of AdGuard VPN v1.2 for Mac is ready to amaze you! We've added two features that will greatly improve your user experience. We completely reimagined the Exclusions section: now you can add Internet services with all their subdomains to Exclusions lists just in one click! And we’ve also added DNS filtering to AdGuard VPN, and it opens new horizons for your secure browsing.
The other changes are less noticeable but no less important: we fixed some bugs that were preventing you from enjoying AdGuard VPN and updated the VPN client.

1.1
Disclaimer: AdGuard VPN for macOS is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This release is pretty similar to the previous AdGuard VPN v1.1 for Windows. It took us three months to prepare the new version.
As always, we have fixed bugs here and there to improve the user experience. But more importantly, AdGuard VPN for Mac began supporting QUIC protocol that offers better connection quality in less-than-ideal conditions (think of using mobile data while riding on the subway or elevator, for instance). Besides, now you can add apps to exclusions. Let's see these two key tasks in greater detail
QUIC support
Following the footsteps of AdGuard VPN for Windows, we switched to HTTP/3 and QUIC communication protocols. Using them is certainly among the best practices, as they're the latest, cutting-edge versions of HTTP.
It should be mentioned that the new protocols won't affect speed when the connection is totally fine and stable, but their benefits will show up when the connection is worse – e.g., when using mobile data or connecting to a public Wi-Fi network.
New protocols do have their perks – using them will allow connection migration and won't cause packet retransmissions and Head of Line Blocking (or HoLB) queues. But rather than getting into the technical weeds, let's just summarize that the main advantage is the improvement of connection quality in non-ideal conditions.
Split tunnelling for apps
We implemented Split tunnelling for apps, which means that you'll be able to add them to exclusions – yep, not only websites.
Changelog
- [Fixed] Handle sign out gracefully #40
- [Fixed] Search area is sensitive to uppercase #46
- [Fixed] Switching from a premium account to a free one breaks the browser operation
- [Enhancement] Updated VPN client to v0.8.155 #56
- [Other] Reworked Kill Switch logic

1.0 beta

The first open beta of AdGuard VPN for Mac is released. It features native support for M1, auto-launch at login and auto-connect when starting the app, and import/export of exclusion lists. Besides, we’ve added the dark theme and fixed the shortcomings of the alpha version.
Note: AdGuard VPN for Mac is currently supported on macOS Catalina and BigSur. Support for earlier versions will be added soon.
Native M1 support
As you may know, some time ago Apple started to sell devices on their architecture with new processors. Older programs wouldn’t run on them, AdGuard included. We adapted our app for new Mac devices, so now everything works everywhere.
Complete functionality in the tray menu
Not only can you manage VPN settings in the appropriate section of the app, but also in the tray menu — and it’s even more convenient. As you can see in the screenshot, you can connect to a server, select another one, disable VPN, open an exclusion list or settings, write to support or quit the app.
<
Import/export of exclusion lists
Now, we have added the import/export of exclusion lists. Just a reminder: we have two exclusion lists — for Regular and Selective Modes. It means that AdGuard VPN can work either on all websites except those added to exclusions, or only on websites added to exclusions. Now you can transfer ready lists to another device, share them. and delete all exclusion websites at once, if necessary.
Compatibility with AdGuard ad blocker
In this beta, AdGuard VPN and AdGuard for Mac work seamlessly together. It may not seem like such a big deal, but this is an advantage that should not be underestimated.
