Install AtGuard

Which kind of Android phone?

Samsung: AtGuard uses Knox to lock uninstallation, with no cable and no reset. If the install is refused, turn off "Auto Blocker" (Settings → Security and privacy).

Android phone or tablet

1. Install the AtGuard app on the phone (no reset needed). Download
2. Open AtGuard and enter this code:
   YOUR-CODE
3. Tap “Turn on the filter” and accept the VPN connection request. AtGuard Video also appears on the home screen.
4. Still in AtGuard, follow “Simple protection”: “Always-on VPN” and “Block connections without VPN”, then uninstall protection. If the filter is turned off, you will see it here.

Steps for Samsung

• If Android refuses the installation, turn off "Auto Blocker" (Settings → Security and privacy).
• Install the app, enter the code and accept the VPN request: AtGuard uses Knox to lock uninstallation, with no cable and no reset.
• If options are greyed out: Settings → Apps → AtGuard → ⋮ menu → "Allow restricted settings", then go back and enable Accessibility.
• Battery: Settings → Battery → Background usage limits: remove AtGuard from "sleeping apps" and choose "Unrestricted".

Full protection (optional): for a phone that must never be unlocked, factory-reset it and install AtGuard at first start-up. The AtGuard team will guide you.
