Psiphon allows citizens in uncensored countries to provide unfettered access to the internet through their home computers to people who live behind firewalls of states that censor
Psiphon is a human rights software project developed by the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies that allows citizens in uncensored countries to provide unfettered access to the internet through their home computers to people who live behind firewalls of states that censor.
The software works through social networks. A net user in an uncensored country can download the program to their computer, which transforms it into an access point. They can then give contacts in censored countries a unique web address, login and password, which enables the restricted users to freely browse the web through an encrypted connection to the proxy server.
Psiphon is funded by the Open Society Institute and was released under the GPL on December 1, 2006.
