Once you pick up a server, to get its IP address type on your PC in console (cmd.exe on Windows/ Terminal on Macintosh):

nslookup xx.astrill.net


This will give you IP address of server, type that on your phone.


Also it is possible that your phone uses a proxy from your ISP, You can try to disable ISP proxy in phone settings.
