We’d also like to see regular transparency reports so that users can see any requests for data that the company has received from government agencies. This would eliminate all doubts about its safety. You can also request to delete this data manually by contacting none of the data stored is identifiable, it is unreasonable from a VPN service that advertises itself as no-logs.Īstrill would benefit from commissiong an independent audit into its logging practices. None of this is personally identifiable, either, and if your Astrill account is inactive for 30 days this information is automatically deleted. “The very design of our VPN server software does not allow us to see which clients accessed what websites even if we wanted to.”Īstrill does, however, log your last 20 connection records to help customer support identify and troubleshoot problems. This isn’t personally identifiable, and presents no threat to your privacy, either. This is a poor excuse considering other VPNs, like ExpressVPN and PrivateVPN, monitor device connections without logging your IP address.Īstrill also tracks the total number of bytes transferred for network maintenance and expansion. All VPNs need to handle a minimal amount of information in order to function in this case, Astrill needs it to regulate the number of devices simultaneously connecting from one account.
This maintains the app’s performance without compromising your privacy. It’s not ideal that Astrill logs your IP address, but this information is only kept during your VPN session, and is then permanently deleted. You can read Astrill VPN’s privacy policy on its website.
