Latest Update – Astrill is no longer offering a free trial (nor a money back guarantee) for customers in China. Read this blog post for more information. If you are outside of China then you should still be able to get the free trial.
As it is no longer possible to get a free trial of Astrill if you are in China, here are some Astrill alternatives that are working well in China and offer either a free trial or money back guarantee.
ExpressVPN – 30 Day Money Back Guarantee + 3 Months Free
WannaFlix (V2ray proxy) – 30 Day Money Back Guarantee or 3 Day Free Trial
VPN.ac – 7 Day Money Back Guarantee or 7 day trial for $2 (available from FAQ section)
Surfshark – 30 Day Money Back Guarantee (check the Surfshark China Guide first)
How to get the Astrill free trial (if you are outside of China)
If you are outside of China, then follow these steps to get the Astrill free trial.
Step 1 – Disconnect any existing VPN or proxy connection
The sign up page for the free trial is not available when using a VPN or proxy (or if you are in China). You must connect from your real IP address that is outside of China.
Step 2 – Go to the free trial sign up page
The free trial sign up page is located at www.astrill.com/trial. The key to loading this page is being outside of China and not using any VPN or proxy. If you are in China or hiding your real IP address with another VPN then www.astrill.com/trial will re-direct to www.astrill.com/pricing instead of loading the free trial sign up page.
Step 3 – Fill in your information
If you have managed to load the free trial sign up page, then you simply need to fill in the required information to sign up for the free trial. Fill in the fields as shown below.
