To set up AdGuard VPN for Windows,follow these organized steps:

1. Enable Blocking for a Public IP:

   • Open AdGuard Settings.
   • Go to the "Choose IPs" option.
   • Add or remove public IPs as needed. Ensure the IP you want to block is not already blocked.

2. Disable Listening:

   • In the "Choose IPs" section, disable blocking for the chosen IP.
   • This prevents the browser from connecting to the IP while accessing websites.

3. Configure the VPN:

   • Go to "Configure VPN" under "Web."
   • Enter the IP address (e.g., +1.21.198.1.111.112).
   • Select a random server and set the connection speed to 1 Mbps.
   • Enable AdGuard as a service on your Windows device.

4. Test the VPN:

   • Open a known website with ads in your browser.
   • Access the URL and check if ads appear. If they do, revisit your settings.

5. Troubleshooting:

   • Look for warnings or errors in AdGuard settings if issues arise.
   • Ensure blocking is unchecked for "Disable listening."
   • If needed, consider switching to another VPN or adjusting firewall settings.

6. Confirm Setup:

   • Check the settings again to ensure everything is correctly configured.
   • If issues persist, consult AdGuard support or troubleshoot further.

By following these steps, you should set up AdGuard VPN successfully and avoid unwanted ads.
