Hi all,

Hi this probably won't be as much help but I did try Astrill VPN a few months ago, did ask tech support but they told me pfsense was not supported and they had no future plans to do so.

Instead they support merlin firmwares on Asus routers like the Asus 86u (just make sure you access it via 192.168.1.1 router address and not their asus logging website!)

Astrill have a applet which works on Asus router (merlin supported) which support port forwarding. It does work stable and well imo.

If you are good enough with networking and pfsense you could download the openvpn files and open the files via notepad and see the server addresses and ports and details and perhaps use this in pfsense.

I do not have astrill anymore and did not try this when I had it though but was going to use mullvad or nordvpns pfsense guide and just input astrills server address and port number and use astrill certs and files instead.

Its a shame Astrill does not support pfsense properly, but I guess they wished to go via commerical routers like Asus and netgear instead.
