If you want to turn Astrill proxy off for some reason temporarily, you can do that by pressing the ON button once. It would toggle to OFF state and your real IP would be exposed again in the browser. You can switch back between ON/OFF real-time with no restrictions on switches whatsoever!
3. You can even switch to Openvpn mode within Astrill application if you want to tunnel internet traffic from all your applications via VPN. Look for Openweb/Openvpn drop down menu in title bar and change to Openvpn mode. Now press on OFF button once to start connecting to the selected server of your choice. Wait a minute and you should be connected when you see a ON button with a lock icon against the server name. If you want to disconnect, simply press the ON button again and it should disconnect from the server.
