What is Psiphon?
Psiphon for Android routes traffic through an encrypted connection to the Psiphon network to help reach websites and services blocked on your network. It automatically tries different connection methods instead of requiring you to choose a protocol, and you can start without creating an account or providing an email address.
The publisher offers an APK for Android 7.0 and higher when Google Play is unavailable. This entry links to that direct APK, not a separate Pro store listing or the unsupported Android 4–6 legacy build. The exact version and processor architectures of the linked APK are not established by the publisher pages reviewed here. The gallery image shows an older Android interface, not the current app layout.
Psiphon protects traffic routed through it, not every possible connection from your devices. Hotspot and tethered traffic does not pass through the phone's Psiphon tunnel, and the app does not erase local browser history or provide full anonymity. Network conditions can affect performance and connection time.
What it offers

- Routes tunnelled traffic through an encrypted connection to the Psiphon network.

Good to know
- The current Android app requires Android 7.0 or higher; Android 4–6 uses a separate legacy build that receives no further updates.

- Psiphon is not a full anonymity tool and does not clear locally stored browser history or cookies.
- Connections on difficult networks may take a few minutes; performance depends on local network conditions.
