Conduit is a simple yet powerful app designed to expand access to the open internet through secure connectivity. Developed by the team behind Psiphon, Conduit allows devices to serve as secure nodes within Psiphon’s global network. By running Conduit, devices help route encrypted traffic for people relying on Psiphon to reach unrestricted internet, particularly in regions with challenging network conditions.
Secure Connectivity for the Open Internet
Conduit enhances the reliability of Psiphon’s network by establishing encrypted connections that help route traffic safely. All traffic passing through the app is fully encrypted, and Conduit does not see or store the content of any connections. This ensures privacy and security while expanding access to information globally.
Easy to Use and Safe by Default
Designed with simplicity in mind, Conduit runs quietly in the background without impacting device performance. Users can enable the app and allow it to function without constant supervision. The lightweight design ensures that devices remain fully usable while contributing to a censorship-resistant network.
Global Network Support
Each device running Conduit strengthens Psiphon’s network, making secure internet access more resilient for users worldwide. More active Conduit stations lead to more reliable connections and improved adaptability for changing network conditions. This decentralized approach supports a safer and more robust online environment for everyone.
Transparent Operation and Privacy Protection
Conduit operates transparently, without collecting personal data, browsing activity, or message content. Users can configure settings such as connection limits and bandwidth usage while remaining confident that all connections are private and secure.
Compatibility with Everyday Devices
The app works seamlessly on both phones and computers. Whether used occasionally or continuously, Conduit is built to be efficient, unobtrusive, and fully compatible with devices people already own.
No Accounts or Visibility Required
Conduit does not require user accounts, and it never monitors the content of network traffic. By design, the app focuses solely on providing secure, encrypted connections that reinforce the global network.
Trusted Development Team
