Psiphon Portable is a light piece of software that enables you to hide your Internet activity from your ISP and other services that might be interested in monitoring your web navigation activity.
Psiphon Portable is a great tool to keep you anonymous on the Internet and solve the problem of access (from a secure tunnel) to any blocked sites.
The utility uses VPN, SSH and HTTP proxy technologies. Psiphon is the best tool for accessing the Internet and will protect you from hacked accounts and stolen passwords no matter what network you are connected to. Psiphon automatically ‘knows’ about new servers and thus increases your chances of circumventing censorship.
Psiphon is an open source project.
A distinctive feature of this program is the ability to use both proxy servers (anonymizers) and “tunneling” (VPN) to achieve anonymity, switching between them with one click of the mouse.
The main features of the program:
- Supports SSH and SSH+ protocols for increased security;
- Manual and automatic selection of different countries of the world for connection;
- Output of reports on the work of the client;
- Detailed instructions on the home page of the program;
- A large number of connection settings;
- Hides the user’s personal data;
- Works with all modern browsers.
The utility acts as an anti-censorship tool
After a quick setup, you come face to face with a user-friendly and well-organized GUI that should not pose any issues regardless of your experience with configuring VPN services. In fact, you can easily connect by specifying the server that you want to connect to. Generally speaking, opting for the closest country usually provides the best results speed-wise.
The program relies on multiple protocols and transport system to enable you to navigate the Internet securely and in anonymity. Therefore, in case you cannot connect via a certain specification, you can employ an alternative mechanism – SSH or SSH+ – to bypass the censor and access the content.
The VPN client proxies your Internet traffic
The strong point of the application stems from the fact that it allows you to hide traffic by establishing a connection in VPN mode. In other words, if you switch to the virtual private network mode, then the applications using local SOCKS or HTTP protocols are redirected through the Psiphon network.
You should know that the port numbers for these connections are selected randomly and automatically. However, if you want to use your own port numbers, you can make the modifications by defining the connection’s details in the Settings window.
On a side note, some users have pointed out that they noticed their connection becoming slower whenever they enable the VPN client. It is necessary to mention that the L2TP/IPSec protocol may experience performance problems and can be incompatible with certain networking hardware and Internet connections.
An intuitive app that allows you to surf the Internet securely
All in all, if you live in a geographic region where certain websites and online services are restricted due to various reasons, then Psiphon can help you bypass bans and access the desired content.
