Astrill VPN Client Reviews

No refunds, bad product

If you are in China, Astrill is OK. But once you leave China use a different VPN service. The speeds have been terrible, all of my Google results are in Chinese, my browser wouldn’t work without the VPN on, and their refund policy is “Screw you.” I used Astrill for many years living in China but I wish I had never renewed the service. Complete waste of $120.

Very nice, but not on iOS

ㅇㅁㅇ~~!

Very nice vpn to use in China, but it stops on iOS too often so should restart the app every time when I use the phone. But it’s fine to use on desktop and android version or don’t need to reconnect that much as iOS. Please please update the iOS version. The last update was 1year a go already. Please ad wireguard, and filter mode as android, desktop client.

Good VPN but need better client app

The VPN is fast enough for user to watch YouTube and work on light tasks in China. It also provides all platform client apps. On Mac it seems using different tech than other VPN brands that it will not trigger Mac’s system VPN setting. The connection thus is faster than some opponents. However the VPN app seems outdated for a long while. One of the biggest bug bothering me is the “auto reconnect” feature. It will by the words, auto reconnect the VPN once drops, however it will also force reconnect even you want to manual stop it. I have the fight against this mechanism and clicking setting fast enough to disable this feature when I want to stop. I think this feature need some logic improvements to be the best.

This app has worked better than many in China, but honestly the new bug that puts you into a VPN limbo has caused severe dysfunction to the point where it disrupts my ability to accomplish the most basic tasks here. Literally couldn’t use wechat or alipay which means my phone is literally useless. Really disappointed and annoyed.

Only VPN I’ll use in China even with the bugs

I have used Astrill since 2014. During the crackdowns of other VPN services Astrill has always been a great option. I’ve never experienced and outage and their customer service has always been quick and helpful. Unfortunately, for the past year, using the app on my phone requires allowing it to access VPN services. Since this update there has been constant trouble to turn the VPN off on my phone. This stops all other apps from working. While you watch it glitch the VPN settings on and off. You can either fight to turn it off or delete it and download it again. It’s been extremely frustrating.

Problems

This app doesn’t have app exclude feature. Android version has it. And this app used to logout automatically. Sometimes infinite loop when connecting

Apparently, I’m always in China

I’ve used Astrill for years, but of late I’m having second thoughts. It doesn’t matter what servers I choose, my IP address is recognized as being in China, to the the extent that some websites won’t allow me access because they recognize my traffic as coming from China, even though I’m using a server in the US. Some niche servers, like South Africa, seem to no longer be available (failed to make handshake). My subscription is up In a month and I’m wondering if it’s time for a change.
