Psiphon will automatically connect to available server on selected country. On
following details below, you are given an option to tunnel whole device which
requires root or Android 4.0+ operating system.
You are also given an option to force root tunnel whole device method.
Another option is the “Connect through an HTTP Proxy” where choices are “Use

Yes,
you can use it on any network as long as you provider doesn’t block this app

connecting to the internet then run Psiphon. When you are connected, you’ll notice a color
blue “P” on home tab while when you still connecting and not yet connected you

On
my test with Psiphon over mobile network, it works like a trick, hide you
current location while you are browsing, compresses data usage and more. Don’t
get confuse if you’re not redirected to a certain sites domain extension when
you are using this app.
For
PC/Windows version of Psiphon, just download then run the app and it will
automatically connect you to the internet. You can also use this on your USB
broadband and pocket Wi-Fi, just set the correct APN on the network you are
currently using then that’s it. Unlike other VPN app,
