What is Psiphon?
Psiphon is a circumvention tool designed to provide access to content that may be censored. It uses encryption and digital signatures to help users evade censorship and access restricted content. However, Psiphon is not designed to offer anonymity or additional security like HTTPS for your traffic. It’s primarily a solution for bypassing restrictions rather than providing complete privacy.
Benefits of Psiphon
- Enables access to censored content.
- Works effectively in regions with strict Internet controls.
- Provides availability and integrity for bypassing censorship.
