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,
