Bypass blocked content

VPN and secure browsing

To access any blocked content over the web, a VPN is by far the best and most commonly used solution. With a built-in VPN, users of Psiphon can easily enjoy encrypted browsing sessions that will keep their data secure irrespective of the fact that they are on a secure network or not. The added layer of security is vital for anyone using public Wi-Fi on their personal devices that could exploit any potential vulnerabilities.

It offers you the option to custom-select regions through which you would like to connect to the internet. It allows the users to connect the best possible configuration in terms of the servers and secure browsing.

Do note that some users have reported issues where some websites like Google stopped working when Psiphon was connected.

Free but with ads

Yes, Psiphon comes with a completely free version on Windows, but it does contain ads that can open up during web browsing. Most commonly, these ads open every time you open the application which is not that annoying.

But the free version is indeed restricted in terms of speed. If you want to unlock maximum speed, you can buy their own currency PsiCash that you can use to unlock maximum speed. 

A good solution for unrestricted browsing
