Note that VPN mode forces all your internet traffic through the VPN tunnel, while regular SSH mode only affects programs that use Windows’ local HTTP and Socket Secure (SOCKS) settings (such as your browser). If regular SSH mode doesn’t work, L2TP/IPsec VPN mode might.

This can be handy, as websites are not usually censored inside their own country. The split tunnelling feature allows you to exempt websites in your country from Psiphon’s encrypted tunnel. The Windows VPN app works on Windows XP or higher. This option is not available in all countries, however. It is also possible to download the basic Psiphon Android VPN app (with added ads) or the Psiphon Pro app from the Google Play Store. People in countries that censor access to the Psiphon website can email to request the apps be sent via email. No registration of any kind is required for this. You can also download the Android and iOS apps, ready for sideloading, from the website. To download the Windows app for free, simply visit the Psiphon website. I am not sure by how much “high speed” increases your speed. The “maximum speed” plan increases your speed limit to 5 Mbps. Just cancel via the Play Store before the trial is over and Psiphon won't charge you. However, I don't know if that is the case here.Īll subscriptions come with a 30-day free trial. Annoyingly for British users, apps sold for £9.99 in the UK often sell for $9.99 in the US. The only place I can find these prices is in-app, so they may vary depending on region. A “high speed” subscription costs £4.99 per month. A “maximum speed” subscription costs £4.99 for a seven-day pass, or £9.99 per month. These can be removed, and the 2 Mbps speed limit increased, for a fee.

There is also a Psiphon Pro app, which shows even more prominent ads.

Bandwidth in all free versions of Psiphon is limited to 2 Mbps. The basic Psiphon app from the Play Store is the same as one you can download from the website, except that it displays some ads. This, however, is where things start to get complicated…

In countries which don't ban it, you can also download Psiphon for your Android device from the Google Play Store. It is also possible to “sideload” the Android and iPhone VPN apps for free.
