Configure P2P Client

Connect to P2P VPN server

When you login to Astrill VPN, first thing you must do is select a P2P VPN server and then connect. VPN Servers which allows P2P/Torrent/eMule/eDonkey traffic are marked with a star (Star-server-p2pm.png) in Astrill application and Servers List. Before you connect to OpenVPN/StealthVPN, you need to enable Port Forwarding. From Astrill Click on SETTINGS > Port Forward..., and then click on Enable Port Forwarding.

Prevent P2P Traffic Leaks

Arm the Windows Firewall + Disable IPv6 + Stop DNS Leaks - set once and forget, then you can enjoy all your p2p/torrent downloads.

Setup Windows Firewall for uTorrent

See the following article in details how to Block uTorrent traffic completely so uTorrent only works if Astrill VPN connection is active.


Disable IPv6 – Disabling isatap Teredo and 6to4 (in Windows 7)

Run command prompt (CMD.EXE) as administrator, and then call the following commands:

    netsh int ipv6 isatap set state disabled
    netsh int ipv6 6to4 set state disabled
    netsh interface teredo set state disable

This method is very convenient, because you don't need to uninstall drivers/devices, and nor disable IPv6 protocol on every network connection adapter.


DNS Leak Protection

Astrill application has DNS leak protection implemented in place already. As soon as you connect to OpenVPN/StealthVPN with Astrill application, DNS server on your network adapter which provides Internet is changed to 8.8.8.8. When you disconnect from Astrill VPN, DNS server settings are restored back to your previous settings. You can manually set DNS server to any of the follow popular public DNS servers:


Google Public DNS

   Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
   Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Open DNS

   Preferred DNS server: 208.67.222.222
   Alternate DNS server: 208.67.222.220

Comodo Secure DNS

   Preferred DNS server: 8.26.56.26
   Alternate DNS server: 8.20.247.20
