Psiphon is a relay-based Internet censorship circumvention system consisting of client apps for Windows, Android, and iOS plus a server network that proxies user traffic to the open Internet. This repository is a meta-repo providing an overview of the system and links to the individual source repositories.

Use cases

• bypass internet censorship and blocked websites
• access blocked services from a censored network
• route traffic through a proxy to evade firewalls
• find the source code for the Psiphon VPN clients
• embed a censorship circumvention tunnel library in an app

When to choose

• you need to circumvent state-level internet censorship with automatic server discovery
• you want a zero-install, cross-platform circumvention client
• you want to integrate a proven tunneling engine into your own application

When to avoid

• you just need a general-purpose VPN for privacy rather than censorship circumvention
• you need a fully self-hosted VPN solution you control end to end
• you expect a single installable package from this repo - it only links to other repositories
