Getting Started with Astrill Application Setup on Windows

Downloading and Installing Astrill application

1. Download the setup installer from the Download page. Do note that you need to click on any one of the Windows links and download the file to your computer. It should look like this after being downloaded onto your computer.

2. Double-click the "astrill-setup-win.exe" file that should be on your computer in your desktop, or downloads folders. You might get the security warning that you can safely ignore and run the installer application.

3. You can now proceed with the installation of the Astrill application on your computer. You can refer to these screenshots of the installation process as a guide.

It is recommended you restart your computer after installation. In any case, if you still face any issues or have any additional queries, feel free to contact us for help.

Running Astrill application

1. Once the Astrill application has been installed successfully, you can now run the application. Find the Astrill application (which looks like a grey star icon) on the desktop and double-click on it to open.

2. You can now log in to the Astrill application window by using your Astrill account login details (the username is the email address you registered, and you use the password you set during the sign-up process).

Once logged in, you would be connected in Openweb mode by default.

You can select any server of your choice from the drop-down list of the application.

If you want to turn the Astrill VPN off for some reason temporarily, you can do that by pressing the ON button once. It would toggle to the OFF state, and your real IP would be exposed again in the browser. You can switch back between ON/OFF real-time with no restrictions on switches whatsoever!

3. You can even switch to Openvpn/StealthVPN/WireGuard mode within Astrill application if you want to tunnel internet traffic from all your applications via VPN. Look for Openweb drop down menu in title bar and change to Openvpn/StealthVPN/WireGuard mode.

Now press the OFF button once to start connecting to the selected server of your choice.

Wait a minute, and you should be connected when you see an ON button above the server name.

If you want to disconnect, simply press the ON button again, and it should disconnect from the server.

4. Once you are connected in the Astrill application, you are ready to surf! Just check your IP address by right-clicking on the Astrill icon in the system tray and selecting the "Check My IP" option. It should open a page to confirm your IP address. If you see Astrill IP, you are good to go!

You can even take a tour of our application by visiting How it works page. We hope you enjoy Astrill – the fastest VPN service on the internet!
