One option that some people have successfully used is hosting their own VPNs (eg, using a cloud provider or through their own internet connection and a virtual machine. There is a list of VPNs floating around somwhere which are authorized by the CCP but how private they truly are is definitely in doubt. The reason I ask is that most popular VPNs have that connectivity issue (as I said, TGFWC is not consistent but it eventually does cut the connection off). It happens to me no matter which protocol and server I use. I can disconnect and reconnect, but it's annoying having to do that every few hours. I'm also experiencing connection problems where I lose internet access even though Astrill says I'm connected. What are the differences and which one is the best to use?Īnyways, I can't recommend Astrill VPN at all.
So what's the problem with Astrill and how can I configure it to behave more like ExpressVPN? My connection would pause if I get disconnected. It's important that my connection is secured at all times. This is a concern as this happened when I was at a Marriott hotel. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to pause my connection for security reason unlike ExpressVPN. For reasons that I don't understand, my phone's connection to Astrill would break. So far I have only tested Astrill on two Android devices: Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel 2 XL.
If things don't improve by the end of this month, I'm leaving Astrill and may just sign up when I need to use it in China. I only paid for a one month subscription. It's probably user error in my part so I thought I would create this thread. So far, my experience have been a bit frustrating. My ExpressVPN subscription ended a few days ago and I thought I would give Astrill a try based on the recommendation of a fellow FTer.
