Australian VPN, Australia VPN — same page
People type VPN Australia, Australian VPN and Australia VPN for the same job: a VPN they can use here, from a company that is actually here. This page is that. We do not run a “best VPN” roundup and we do not sell a free VPN Australia product.
Arresti is Australian-owned and veteran-owned. You are buying from an Australian company, not a marketing office bolted onto an overseas parent.
We operate a strict no-logs policy. We do not store your browsing activity. A VPN encrypts the path between your device and our server. It does not make you anonymous on sites where you are logged in, and it is not antivirus. We say that on the features page because it is true.
Using a VPN is legal in Australia for ordinary privacy and security. You are still responsible for following the law and the terms of services you use. The longer version is on our post Is a VPN legal in Australia?
What it costs
One plan. All servers. Up to 5 devices.
- AUD $3.99 a month, or AUD $43 a year.
- The apps are free downloads. The VPN subscription is paid.
- 30-day money-back guarantee, on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law — not instead of them.
When Australians actually need a VPN
You do not need a legal grey area to justify one. The usual reasons are boring, and they are the real ones.
Public Wi-Fi. Airport, hotel, cafe, the library. The network operator and anyone else on that network should not get a free look at your traffic.
Travel. Hotel networks and foreign carriers are worse, and the apps you pay for at home start behaving oddly. See why Australians need a VPN when they travel.
At home. Optional. Your home network is more controlled than the airport, but a VPN still stops your ISP building a picture of every site you visit. Plenty of people leave it on and forget it.
Apps vs Windows
On iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac, download the Arresti VPN app, sign in, tap Connect. Most people are up and running in under three minutes.
Windows is different. There is no native three-minute Arresti app for Windows. You install OpenVPN and import an .ovpn file. The Windows OpenVPN guide walks through it. Same subscription, one extra setup step.
