Surf the internet with freedom

Psiphon is a security and privacy tool designed to give you uncensored internet access. It uses VPN, SSH, and HTTP Proxy to bypass digital censorship from governments, corporations, or schools. It's easy to download and requires no registration, offering a solution for free web browsing, even in challenging online environments.

The internet without restrictions

Psiphon is easier for you to use and it’s open-source, promoting transparency. You can select tunnel modes, including split tunnel, for efficient traffic. While your data is encrypted, understand it’s not an anti-surveillance tool; your browsing history and cookies may be stored locally, and it is not suitable for HD streaming.

However, it sells some of your data for in-client ads, unlike paid VPNs. You might also encounter issues where it doesn't restore your proxy settings upon disconnection, causing internet problems. While it masks your presence, it doesn't guarantee full anonymity. Alternatively, it offers access in restricted regions rather than ultimate stealth.

Not bad for a free service

Psiphon allows you to bypass censorship easily, with no registration needed. It's open-source and offers split tunneling. However, it's not designed for full anonymity, sells some of your data for ads, and stores your browsing history locally. It's also not ideal for HD streaming, so you should weigh these trade-offs based on your needs.
