Astrill

Astrill is a Seychelles-based company which has been providing VPN services since 2009.

The product specs look good, at least initially: 300+ servers, many with P2P support, in almost 50 countries. There’s vast protocol support, it works just about anywhere, and if you’re unsure, the company offers a 7-day free trial which gives you time to find out for yourself.

It’s a little expensive, not least because there’s no single month plan. The minimum purchase is 3 months, which runs to $9.98 (£8.30, AU$13.40) a month, although paying for a full year in advance sees this drop to $5.83 (£4.80, AU$7.80).

There are a lot of optional add-ons. The standard plan only allows two simultaneous connections (one of which is a mobile device, one a desktop/laptop), but the Home Plan gets you 5-device support for – gulp – $5 (£4.15, AU$6.70) a month.

Other add-ons include a firewall, stealth connection, improved encryption, VPN sharing, connections to super-speedy VIP servers, there’s even a dedicated IP. None are essential, though, and most are overpriced, so we decided to focus on the standard plan.
