 AdGuard VPN for Windows has many advantages, so we've dedicated [a separate article](/general/why-adguard-vpn) to them. Here, however, we want to focus more on the application itself and how it works.
 
 ## How to start using AdGuard VPN for Windows
 
-To start using AdGuard VPN for Windows, download the app from [our website](https://adguard-vpn.com/welcome.html). The installation takes no more than a minute — and you'll see a dialog window where you'll need to check at least one box applying the terms of the User Agreement and the Privacy policy. And it's up to you to decide whether you want AdGuard to collect anonymized data about your app usage. At last the program will ask you to sign in, either via [AdGuard account](https://auth.adguard.com/login.html) or via social networks (Apple, Google, Facebook). That's all, you can now use AdGuard VPN for Windows.

 For years, we were concentrating on developing all flavors of ad blocking apps and browser extensions. And in 2019 we resolved to develop our own VPN service, seemingly out of nowhere. When, in reality, there were a few reasons that prompted us to do so.
 
-- AdGuard mobile apps had compatibility issues with VPN apps. Normally, two VPN-based mobile apps can't work together: in rare cases on iOS, and never on Android. As AdGuard ad blocker apps use local VPN to filter network traffic, using them alongside any VPN app would be out of the question. That's why we saw the development of an in-house VPN as the only feasible solution that could guarantee compatibility: after we apply some magic, the two apps are able to work together as one VPN service.

 - Secondly, VPN seemed more than relevant to our philosophy and priorities. Our primary goal is to protect users' privacy, and this is exactly what VPNs are for.
 - Finally, over the years of developing AdGuard software, we have become experts in filtering network traffic. This allowed us to bring in something new instead of becoming another wishy-washy VPN.
