Having said that, Psiphon does go on to detail more logging than you might expect. The company doesn't immediately drown you in cookie names or other technical descriptions, instead making an honest attempt to explain to VPN newbies exactly why they should care (VPNs can see unencrypted traffic, maybe amend it, inject ads, perhaps share data with third parties.) It's great to see a privacy policy which tries to begin to explain the basic issues rather than whitewash them, and we wish more providers did the same. Point your browser at the service’s privacy policy and one of the first headings you'll see is 'What user information does Psiphon collect?' While many VPNs invest a great deal of time and effort in pretending they absolutely never log anything at all, ever, no sir, not us sir, Psiphon is a little more honest.

Once you start it, it will be running in the background, and you will be able to access its small dashboard at any time through the notification bar of your Windows desktop.Psiphon is very upfront about the information it collects on its users (Image credit: Psiphon) Privacy Psiphon allows you to set up different user accounts, all of them password-protected, to give access to whoever you want. In addition, it is possible to choose between different types of masking, either through a virtual VPN tunnel or by modifying the proxy in an SSH connection. So, if you have a friend or acquaintance who cannot see a certain page because it has been banned in his country or because his connection fails, you can send him the address of the Psiphon server and give him access to the network. A secure, encrypted connection that cannot be intercepted is established between the Psiphon server and the client. With Psiphon, you will turn your computer into a proxy server to which the users to whom you want to give access will connect.

Psiphon is an open-source tool designed to circumvent the censorship suffered by millions of Internet users in all those countries where freedom of expression is a right that is conspicuous by its absence.
