Psiphon

What Psiphon is

Psiphon routes internet traffic through its network to help users reach websites and services that may be blocked or restricted. It automatically tries different connection methods and adapts as network conditions change. The app is intended for browsing, messaging, calls, video, gaming, and downloads, and users can install and connect without an account or email address. Psiphon says its network spans more than 50,000 servers across 33 countries. Its free Basic plan is ad-supported, has reduced features, and requires no account; Plus costs $2.88 a month and is described as providing the full network, no ads, and every feature. Premium, Psiphon Premium Monthly, and Psiphon Premium Annual are also listed with benefits of removing advertisements and providing a faster VPN, but no prices are given for them. Psiphon says it processes limited technical information needed to operate, secure, and improve the network, and does not build identity or browsing profiles. Its client applications and core tunnelling technology are open source, and its Trust Center lists independent security reviews including Cure53 audits from May 2024. Android APKs are digitally signed, and the Android client verifies updates automatically. Android 7.0 or higher and iOS 16 or higher are required; the Windows app is labeled legacy, and a native macOS app is in development.
