Hide Internet traffic
The main advantage of this software stems from the fact that it enables you to hide traffic by channeling it through a virtual private network. For example, if you switch to the VPN mode, then the programs that rely on local SOCKS or HTTP protocols are redirected through the Psiphon network.
Similar to OpenVPN, the port numbers for these connections are selected randomly and automatically. However, if you want to input your own values, you are able to make the modifications by specifying the required details in the Settings window.
