You built your product to work everywhere. But 'everywhere' doesn't work the way it used to. A logistics company routes drivers through three African countries. One morning, the app stopped loading in one of them. No error message. No alert. Drivers just can't connect. It takes the team two days to realize the government throttled the protocol their app depends on. By then, deliveries have stalled, customers have churned, and the support queue is a disaster.

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.

Did you know that Cuba is one of the countries with the most restricted internet access in the world? Home internet access is forbidden, and even though the government is introducing more and more public WiFi spots, they cost 2$ an hour, which in Cuba is one tenth of the monthly wage. Even then users cannot surf the web freely - they are subject to government surveillance and anti-government websites are blocked. Internet speeds are extremely slow.

Psiphon was in Miami this month at the Cuba Internet Freedom Forum , a conference to discuss and exchange ideas, look at the current state of the internet in Cuba and look for ways to support its growth.

Tell all your Cuban friends that Psiphon will help them access the open free internet!
