## What it is
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

- domain: censorship-circumvention, privacy, networking, security
