Important update: AdGuard for Windows 5.10.2025
We’ve just prepared an update of Adguard for Windows. Version 5.10.2025.
It is highly recommended to update your Adguard as soon as possible as this version contains some important security fixes. As you may have heard, SSL vulnerabilities are discovered literally every month. POODLE attack, FREAK attack, and most recent – Logjam. Until now our reaction was not enough prompt. It’s time to change that.
Two days ago we’ve got a message from well-known security researcher Hanno Böck (https://hboeck.de/en/). He has pointed out some problems with how we handle SSL interceptions. We are proud to say that all these vulnerabilities were fixed by us in two days.
Changelog for version 5.10.2024:
- SSL private key is no more pinned to your computer hardware. Every clean installation you get fresh private key
- We now better handle TLS 1.2 connections
- All certs and private keys are now encrypted and stored in a single file
What is coming soon:
- Fully disable SSL interception for the websites using “Extended Validation” certificates. This type of certificates is mostly used by financial companies, banks, etc.
- Fix Logjam vulnerability as soon as possible (right after it is fixed in popular browsers).
Sincerely,
Adguard Team

New extension version: AdGuard 2.0.9
We have prepared several nice improvements of our extension. First, we added new localizations of Korean, Serbian and simplified Chinese languages.
Second, we added a very helpful feature which might be an impetus for re-thinking of ad blocking as a whole.
Installation
You can install AdGuard for Android only manually. Google prohibits distribution of network-level ad blockers via Google Play, i.e. apps that block commercials in other apps. You will find more information about Google restrictive policy in our blog.
To use the app on your mobile device, you will need to do the following.
First of all, allow installing apps from unknown sources in your device’s OS settings. For this you will need to:
For Android 8 or newer: tap on the downloaded AdGuard APK file and then on Install. If installation from your browser is not allowed, you will see a screen informing you about it. From this screen tap on Settings → Allow from this source → Back → Install.
Instruction for old Android versions
For Android 7: give the browser access to the repository. Then agree to download APK format. Open the downloaded file and install AdGuard.
For Android 6: open Settings, then select Additional settings in System & Device. Switch on Unknown sources and press OK in the system warning window.
(Please note that the path towards these settings may differ depending on a device).
For Android 5: open Settings, then select Security in the Personal section. Switch on Unknown sources and press OK in the system warning window.
You can now install the app on your device. You will see the request to save the downloaded file. Press OK.
When the download is complete, the system will ask you if you want to install the AdGuard app. Press Install.
Wait for the installation to complete and press Done.
AdGuard is now installed on your device. You can launch the app by pressing its icon in the list of installed apps.
