We do provide Home Plan subscription though that allows up to 5 devices to be used simultaneously with one account. For more details, please contact our support.

== How does using Astrill VPN can affect my internet speed? ==
 
It would be very marginally affected as Astrill doesn't alter any system settings related with speed of Internet connection.
 
Though as you can see that traffic is going redirected from our servers to your system and not directly, there can be a marginal difference in speeds.
 
Though many recent Astrill improvements can overcome it and provide even better experience than your ISP provides.
