Official Android App for Astrill VPN released


If you are working inside of China, or just prefer the privacy a VPN can offer then take a look at the recently released Astrill VPN app for Android.

Working from inside of China sometimes means you have to navigate around the Great Firewall to access social networks and upload videos. Many expats living here choose to use Astill as it remains the fastest and most stable, with the only downside being there was no official Android app available, until today.

Gizchina News of the week


Any Astrill customers booting up their VPN today will get a message informing them of the newly created app available on Google Play. Once installed on your Android device you can log in with your credentials and start surfing the web.

You can download the app on Google Play for Free here, but you will need to subscribe to an account to use the app.

    Hello. I currently live in Henan Province, China. The Google Play site is blocked in China. How can I download the app to my Android phone when my Android phone cannot connect to the Google Play site?

      You can use PPTP method instead. Follow the directions on the astrill website. PPTP will then allow you to access Google Play if you wish to install the Astrill VPN app.
