The Real Psiphon: Continuous Innovation with Forge & Conduit

The Real Psiphon: continuous innovation across the app, Forge, and Conduit

Most people know the Psiphon app. Few know the real Psiphon and our commitment to continuous innovations like Forge & Conduit. The Psiphon app and network is where most people encounter us, for good reason. With more than 500 million downloads, it is the most widely used anti-censorship platform in the world, enabling tens of millions of users every day to access the Internet within the most heavily restricted environments on the planet. For those users, it's the one app that they can rely on when nothing else works. What makes that possible is a global managed network operating behind the scenes: thousands of servers distributed across jurisdictions, built on a multi-protocol approach that continuously adapts to detection and blocking. When a government shuts down a platform or throttles a protocol, our systems respond in real time.

Psiphon Network: Building the Infrastructure of Internet Freedom

Psiphon network building the infrastructure of internet freedom

The internet was built on a simple idea: that information should flow freely, that collaboration should have no borders, and that access should be universal. That's not the reality for billions of people. In 2024, 4.8 billion people experienced government-imposed online restrictions. As of April 8, 2026, Iran's internet shutdown has exceeded 39 consecutive days and counting, the longest nationwide internet disruption ever recorded anywhere in the world. Russia is blocking platforms and cracking down on the tools people use to get around it. Across Africa, elections are being held under the cover of digital darkness. This is the world we work in. And it's exactly why Psiphon exists.
