Open web for everyone

Psiphon is a tool designed to help people reach the open internet when local restrictions or filters are in place. It aims to restore access to websites and services that might otherwise be unavailable because of network-level controls.

How it bypasses restrictions

The application routes traffic around blocks imposed by governments, workplaces, or other authorities so users can visit sites that are otherwise restricted. That includes regional news outlets, social platforms, and any other pages a user may need or want to see while at home or traveling abroad.

  • Access to news sites and social platforms that can be regionally restricted
  • Use while traveling or working from locations with strict internet controls
  • Ability to reach a broad range of websites that would otherwise be filtered

Although Psiphon is available at no cost, its use is prohibited in some countries. Before downloading or using such tools, check local laws and regulations because using circumvention software can carry legal risk in certain jurisdictions.

Privacy and concealment features

The developers have included measures intended to reduce the chance that a user’s activity is detected, such as traffic obfuscation and techniques that hide or complicate attribution. These protections aim to make it harder — though not impossible — for authorities to identify users.

  • Built-in traffic obfuscation and techniques to complicate detection
  • Designed to limit attribution and obscure user connections
  • Not guaranteed to prevent identification under all circumstances; exercise caution and stay informed about legal risks before use
