Conduit: Share Internet Access 1.6.1

The Conduit platform represents a significant contribution to the ongoing effort to promote internet freedom. Since its inception in 2006, Psiphon has established itself as a leading organization in combating online censorship, providing tools that enable users worldwide to circumvent restrictions irrespective of their geographical location. Whether on an outdated device or a common smartphone, users can facilitate access to an open internet by establishing a secure and private connection—one step at a time. Supporting this initiative aligns with a commitment to preserving digital rights and fostering free expression.

When a user in a restricted region attempts to connect through the Psiphon VPN, your Conduit Station functions as an intermediary proxy, effectively masking their traffic and routing it into the Psiphon Network. This setup introduces an additional security layer that complicates efforts by censors to detect or block such connections, thus enhancing the accessibility of unfiltered content.

Downloading Conduit enables individuals to transform their mobile devices into gateways for internet liberation. This approach not only empowers users but also contributes to the resilience of the broader network aimed at defending free access to information.

HOW CONDUIT OPERATES:

• Request: The Psiphon client initiates a request for website access.
• Conduit Tunnel: A Conduit Station establishes a secure communication tunnel for the user's traffic.
• P2P Connection: The tunnel leverages a peer-to-peer network architecture to obscure traffic patterns.
• Circumvention: The connection is routed through Psiphon’s secure network infrastructure, bypassing censorship mechanisms.
• Access: The user reaches their intended website anonymously and securely.

KEY FEATURES OF CONDUIT:

• HOST A CONDUIT STATION: Utilize your personal Android device as an active node within the Conduit network, facilitating access for others seeking unrestricted content.
• P2P NETWORK TUNNELING: Establish quick and efficient peer-to-peer tunnels that operate discreetly in the background, allowing continued device usage without interruption.

Support those whose voices are silenced by establishing a Conduit Station. Increasing the number of active stations enhances the overall robustness and resilience of the Psiphon network.

Promoting internet freedom aligns with fundamental human rights. By hosting a Conduit Station, you contribute not only to global access to information but also uphold the principles articulated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—affirming everyone’s right to freedom of opinion and expression across borders.
