Description
Unrestricted access to the internet
Psiphon is a circumvention tool from the developer Psiphon Inc. that uses VPN, SSH, and HTTP Proxy technology so that you can have uncensored access to all Internet content. As you browse, the client will learn about new access points so that you can bypass blocks with ease.
Web browsing freedom
The internet was founded on the premise of free access to information. Today, many people are limited in their access to the web for one reason or another. Many times, this is due to employer or government restrictions. With Psiphon for Windows, you can have access to the content you want, without limitations. Bypass censorship, whether it be from your country, corporation, or school campus.
Downloading and using Psiphon
It’s easy to get this Psiphon download for PC and run it on your device. You should receive a security prompt. Once you select to run the client program, it will automatically start connecting. Users have the option of selecting their preferred tunnel mode.
When the connecting icon stops spinning, and there is a green one displayed, it means that your connection has been established. If you are in SSH and SSH+ mode, the program will automatically set the Windows system proxy settings which should be respected by all major web browsers.
There is also a split tunnel option where international traffic is tunneled through the proxy, while domestic traffic is not. You will have to check the option that states “don’t proxy domestic web sites.” When you do that, Psiphon will report any unproxied domains in the message box.
Connecting to a server
The interface displays your connection status well, though it doesn’t highlight your new IP address. You can select a server from over 20 different regions including the UK, USA, Spain, Switzerland, India, and Canada. A new browser window will then appear to show you your new IP.
Speed will vary depending on your connection and you may want to experiment with a few to find the most suitable. It is fast enough that you can browse the web seamlessly and access content. You can watch videos, but don’t expect to stream in 1080p or higher.
