Store listing

Full description

Astera helps users start and manage a device-level VPN connection on Android. Select an available node, tap Connect, and follow the connection status from inside the app. When the VPN is running, Astera displays an ongoing status notification so the session stays visible and can be stopped at any time. Main features: Connect or disconnect after Android VPN approval Choose and switch available nodes Check current IP and basic IP-based location information Run a speed check for the active connection View Wi-Fi and connection-related network details Monitor connection status, duration, and session information Astera starts the VPN only after user action and Android system authorization. The app uses Android VpnService to create and manage the VPN session, and keeps a visible notification during active use so users can clearly see the connection state and disconnect whenever needed.
