Yes. The starter plan lets you test Free VPN access, the client, and basic node performance before you decide whether dedicated routes are worth upgrading to.

No. Astrill Accelerator provides a one-tap client, so beginners do not need v2rayN, Shadowrocket, or v2rayNG. Advanced users can still follow guides when they prefer manual setup.

Device limits depend on your plan. Starter access is best for personal testing, while higher plans are better for phones, laptops, tablets, and family sharing.

Restricted networks require more than a generic VPN Provider. Astrill Accelerator combines dedicated entry routes, protocol camouflage, smart tunneling, and cleaner node pools to reduce disconnects and repeated verification.

Refresh the subscription, switch to a lower-latency node, check your device time, and confirm the client is up to date. If the issue continues, contact support with your device and node details.

Depending on the available route, you can use return-to-China nodes for music, video, and everyday domestic services. Performance depends on your location and the target platform.

If the website download is slow, contact support for an alternate download path or check the official Telegram channel for the latest client notes.

If your router supports Merlin, OpenWrt, or Padavan firmware, you can follow the router guide to share VPN access with home devices. Compatibility depends on the model and firmware.

Use the Forgot Password option on the login screen. A reset link will be sent to your registered email, so keep that inbox accessible.

Yes. Astrill Accelerator encrypts traffic on public Wi-Fi, campus networks, hotel networks, and 5G connections, which is useful for students, travelers, and remote workers.

The encrypted tunnel hides the content of your activity. Your ISP may see that you are using encrypted traffic, but not the specific sites, apps, or data inside the tunnel.

We follow a minimal-data approach and do not log browsing history, downloads, or destination activity. Account and operational data are used only for service delivery, security, and troubleshooting.

Any VPN Service can be affected when networks become more restrictive. Astrill Accelerator reduces that risk through protocol obfuscation, node rotation, and backup routes.

Astrill Accelerator uses modern encrypted transport and secure tunnel design to protect data on public Wi-Fi, hotel networks, campus networks, and shared offices.

Websites normally see the exit node IP, not your local real IP. DNS leak protection and Kill Switch settings add another layer of protection.

Yes. The Kill Switch can block traffic if the secure tunnel disconnects unexpectedly, helping prevent sensitive data from leaving over an unprotected connection.

DNS requests are routed through the encrypted tunnel where supported, reducing ISP hijacking, polluted DNS responses, and accidental local resolver leaks.

No. Astrill Accelerator does not build third-party advertising profiles from user connection data and does not sell identifiable browsing records.

That means the selected VPN node is active. Choose Hong Kong, Japan, the US, Singapore, or another region based on streaming, AI, gaming, or work needs.

Yes. Streaming routes prioritize native IPs and lower-congestion nodes for Netflix, Disney+, aiyifan, YouTube, and similar services.

For many users, the low-latency routes are enough for Steam and international game servers. If you compare with UU Accelerator, Leigod, or Xunyou, test the actual region and game server before deciding.

Some nodes allow P2P traffic. Choose a node marked for that use case and follow the rules of your region and the content platform.

Peak hours affect every VPN Provider. Astrill Accelerator uses load balancing and backup routes to reduce congestion, and dedicated routes are recommended for heavy evening use.

Split tunneling lets local apps stay on your direct network while Google, ChatGPT, streaming platforms, and other overseas services use the VPN tunnel.

Some routes include basic filtering to reduce obvious pop-ups and risky domains. It improves browsing comfort but does not replace a dedicated browser security extension.

Yes. You can submit a ticket or use Telegram for help with clients, nodes, subscriptions, and routing questions.

Start with Auto Route. For manual selection, choose streaming nodes for video, native IP nodes for AI services, and low-latency nodes for gaming.

Yes. Sign in with the same Astrill Accelerator account and your plan benefits can sync across supported devices.

You can buy a temporary data top-up or upgrade to a plan with more capacity from the account center.
