Psiphon

Staying safe online has become increasingly tricky to achieve, especially given the advent of new malware each day, more capable than ever. When thinking about privacy, things are also quite difficult, and finding the right solution for unhindered Web surfing is often not that simple.

Build with the idea in mind of providing you with a secure, hidden connection, Psiphon and its VPN capabilities were designed in order to offer a series of tools for attaining access to restricted content and protecting your identity while browsing the Internet, all in a simple, open-source package.

Psiphon sports a simple design, and during testing I was pleased to see that initializing the VPN capabilities is as simple as pressing the corresponding button. If you’re concerned about performance, the included server selector offers you the chance to select the best one for your requirements.

An internal coin collection system will also allow you to enhance your connection speed, by trading the accumulated coins for boosted access speed. Neat.

When going past the basics, I really appreciated the detailed, in-depth set of options that are provided for achieving a personalized user experience. A multitude of aspects are addressed, therefore allowing you to custom-tune the app’s behavior to your preference.

For instance, you will be able to tackle tray area settings, traffic alerts, tunnel splitting, timeouts for slow networks, as well as proxy settings, if circumstances dictate.

Featuring a straightforward demeanor, Psiphon comes forward with an intuitive VPN connection set of tools, which can provide simple connectivity and loads of secondary options, meant to allow you to fine-tune it for your specific requirements.
