Una herramienta de elusión centrada en la transparencia, no una VPN de privacidad, y ella misma lo reconoce ("Si requiere anonimato en Internet, debería usar Tor en lugar de Psiphon", según su propia sección de preguntas frecuentes). Las fortalezas de Psiphon son precisamente donde las VPN comerciales son débiles: es gratuita, con datos ilimitados, de código abierto y diseñada para reconectarse allí donde otras VPN fallan, lo que explica el aumento de su uso hasta 1,76 millones en Bielorrusia (2020) y millones en Irán durante los cierres. El compromiso es estructural: su política de privacidad documenta el registro de metadatos (protocolo, duración, bytes, ciudad/proveedor de Internet, conteo de bytes por dominios populares, retención de 90 días), el plan gratuito limita la velocidad a ~2 Mbps, no tiene interruptor de corte (kill switch), y evaluadores independientes califican mal su privacidad (Top10VPN 0,1/10, vpnMentor 2,7/10 con fugas de IP en pruebas del mundo real). Se declara el financiamiento gubernamental (del Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. y OTF), pero esto disuadirá a los usuarios más sensibles. Úsela para conectarse bajo censura, no para ocultarse.

Psiphon is a free, open-source censorship-circumvention tool developed by a Toronto-based team with roots in the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab. It’s not a full anonymity VPN but a hybrid proxy/VPN designed to reconnect where others fail. You get unlimited data and no account is needed for basic use, but it logs metadata by policy - this is transparency, not a privacy guarantee.
Psiphon does not claim to be a no-logs provider and explicitly documents collecting user activity metadata: protocol used, session duration, bytes transferred, city/pais/ISP (derived from IP, which is then discarded), and byte counts for popular domains. This data is retained up to 90 days, aggregated, and deleted. No audits verify this policy. Jurisdiction is Canada, a Five Eyes member, but the provider allows for "temporary deviation" from its policy during censorship events. There is no warrant canary.
There is no intro or renewal price for the free tier, which is ad-supported and unlimited in data. Psiphon Pro offers ad-free use, location selection, and speed boosts via subscription, with in-app purchases (PsiCash) varying by platform. No stable USD price is published. Since there’s no fixed-term billing, the renewal trap does not apply - but the real cost is your metadata and capped speeds.
Psiphon supports SSH, SSH+, L2TP/IPsec, and MASQUE protocols, with obfuscation built into SSH+ and constant protocol switching to evade blocks. It lacks a kill switch and multihop, supports split tunneling, and allows P2P only on specific configurations (not default). Servers span 21 countries; devices supported include Windows, Android, and iOS. Streaming and torrenting are not supported. Performance on the free tier is throttled to about 2 Mbps.
Psiphon Inc., based in Toronto, originated from the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto. It has received funding from the US State Department’s Internet Freedom program and the Open Technology Fund. While its mission is public-interest circumvention, its ad-supported model and documented metadata logging raise red flags for privacy. Independent reviewers consistently rate its privacy poorly (Top10VPN 0.1/10, vpnMentor 2.7/10), and it has no third-party audits.
Psiphon excels here. Its obfuscation methods - SSH+ tunneling, protocol switching, and conduit stations (peer relays) - are built to bypass deep packet inspection and state-level blocks. It’s widely used in Iran, Russia, Belarus, and Cuba during internet shutdowns. MASQUE and HTTP/3-based tunneling make it harder to detect. If you’re in a censored network, Psiphon is one of the few tools that often still works.
Use Psiphon if you’re behind a firewall and need to get online - especially in repressive regions. Don’t use it if you need anonymity or privacy. It’s honest about logging, free, and resilient, but not secure by modern VPN standards. The money trail shows no affiliate program, but its government funding and ad model mean your usage supports a mission, not a profit margin.

Estado de nuestras comprobaciones: 2026-09-29. Psiphon alcanza 3.4/10 en nuestro análisis ponderado. Hemos registrado 3 señales de alerta (listadas arriba). Los reportes de usuarios, la propiedad y el historial de incidentes están documentados con fuentes fechadas en el metaanálisis de abajo.
Unlimited data, no account needed for basic use, ad-supported access with automatic server selection and ~2 Mbps speeds; Pro removes ads, adds location choice and speed boosts via in-app purchase.
There is no renewal price or long-term billing cycle - the free tier is free forever; Pro and PsiCash costs vary by platform with no fixed USD rate, so no 3-year total can be calculated.
Logging is documented in policy: metadata (protocol, duration, bytes, city/ISP, domain byte counts) kept up to 90 days, then aggregated and deleted - no audits, no court-tested no-logs claim, evidence class is "none".
Yes - Psiphon is specifically built for high-censorship environments and is actively used in Iran, Russia, and Belarus; its obfuscation and protocol agility make it resilient where commercial VPNs fail.
No payment is needed for the free tier; PsiCash accounts can use pseudonyms, but no cryptocurrency or fully anonymous payment methods are supported.
If Psiphon ceases operations, its open-source clients and core would remain available, but the server network and updates would stop; users in censored regions would lose access unless alternative relays emerge.
For anonymity, use Tor. For circumvention, try Lantern or the free tier of Windscribe (limited data); Psiphon remains a top pick for uncensored access where speed and privacy are secondary to connectivity.
