Join the fight for
Internet Freedom

Support people around the world by turning your phone into an Internet Freedom gateway! By running a Conduit Station, you immediately help people in censored countries access the free and open internet around the world. Simply start Conduit, and your phone connects people directly to the Psiphon network. Whether you're using an old phone or your everyday device, you'll be making a crucial difference — one connection at a time.

What is Conduit?

Conduit is designed to help people in censored countries access unrestricted information by connecting to devices that serve as proxy nodes to the Psiphon Network. It empowers individuals worldwide to support users in regions that need secure, uncensored internet access.

How does it work?

Conduit enables you to use your device as a Conduit Station, which allows users in censored regions to connect to the uncensored Internet via a peer-to-peer connection. The system is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, enabling anyone with the Conduit App to quickly host a Conduit Station.

Why run a Conduit Station?

Conduit's ability to support users is tied to the number of Conduit Stations available. The more Conduit Stations there are, the more capable the system becomes, offering enhanced security and improving resilience against censorship. By joining the Conduit/Psiphon network, volunteers contribute to the ability for individuals in censored regions to access the global Internet.
