Psiphon Review

The Internet as we know it was created to be free and open. However, it has been everything but free or open. Content is constantly censored by our governments, and we are only left with what they allow us to see. And that is not fair. The internet should be completely open and available to everyone so that everyone can have access to the information that they desire; the truth. With Psiphon, that vision can be reality and all it takes is a simple download. You can use it right here with the Psiphon free download we offer.

Psiphon 3 download for PC is here

Installing Psiphon 3 on your system is very simple and easy. In fact there isn't much you have to do after clicking on the setup file. Follow a few prompts and you're all done. Once you run the application for the first time you don't need to follow any specific setup wizards or anything, the application just works. It connects to the Psiphon server and allows you to browse the uncensored internet. A mix of VPN, SSH and HTTP Proxy are used in order to secure communication and obfuscation technologies to bypass the kinds of internet filtering that many governments use in a daily basis, such as censorship.

Internet censorship has gotten out of hand. As a result, people are left uninformed and controlled. It should be left up to the people to decide what they would like to and would not like to see on the internet. We should have our own personal censorship tool. While Psiphon for PC is not a personal censorship tool that will allow you to censor specific sites, it will unblock the internet for you to find whatever you may seek.

However, there are some downsides to this particular VPN. For instance, it is very slow. If you're looking to use this VPN to stream shows from Netflix or torrent a large file without somebody tracking you, then you should definitely keep looking. It has a very sluggish upload and download speed, and in fact, the developers themselves explicitly state that it isn't supposed to be a privacy tool, and you shouldn't try to use it as such. You'll only be disappointed. This is because of the insanely heavy encryption it uses.

This program also has other downsides, also based on the fact that it isn't a true privacy software. It has a very small server network, meaning that if there isn't a server near you, then you'll likely find that it takes even longer than most other VPNs to browse. Since it's not a privacy tool, there also isn't a VPN kill switch and it will also leak DNS requests. 

Other than that, though, it will also keep logs that will be discarded after 60 days, which is a little too long. The logs are mainly used to troubleshoot the program and to determine the nature of major censorship events. They say that it will not give detailed or potentially user identifying information to partners or any other third party, but that is simply the baseline. If their database is breached in any way, then the chance is high for your information to get revealed.

Another downside is when you're using this program on PC, then it won't let you select a specific VPN server in a country. There are reports of users from UK having the program automatically select a server all the way over in Singapore, which as you can imagine, made it incredibly slow. There are regularly moments when we clocked speeds of 1 MB upload and 5 MB download, which is incredibly slow. You can increase the speed if you want to by purchasing a license for the program, but it's not exactly the point of this free download, is it?

Psiphon Browser is a very small, lightweight application. It's simple, fast, and gets the job done. It doesn't get much better than that. It isn't meant to be a privacy tool, but it is indeed a free censorship circumvention tool that's incredibly highly regarded amongst freedom advocates. And best of all is that there is also a mobile version you can use if you want to. Download Psiphon today and open up the web in the way that it was intended - it will carry you through your every day life in a censored country.
