DUSHANBE, June 21, 2016, Asia-Plus — You may use Psiphon to get access to the blocked website of
Asia-Plus
news agency.
Using Psiphon, you may also switch from our website to other blocked websites.
Psiphon serves a specific and simple purpose: to grant users open access to the Internet when information controls and limitations are arbitrarily imposed within any given country.
Since 2008, Psiphon has helped millions of people in freedom-restricted countries around the world safely access censored knowledge and ideas. Now Psiphon can do the same for you.
Psiphon is a circumvention tool from Psiphon Inc. that utilizes VPN, SSH and HTTP Proxy technology to provide you with uncensored access to Internet content. Your Psiphon client will automatically learn about new access points to maximize your chances of bypassing censorship.
Psiphon is designed to provide you with open access to online content. Psiphon does not increase your online privacy, and should not be considered or used as an online security tool.
Psiphon is compatible with Android 2.2 and up. Whole device mode requires Android 4.0 and up or a rooted device. If you do not have access to the Google Play Store, you can download and install (“sideload”) Psiphon for Android directly.
If our website or download links are blocked or censored, you may request to have the downloads sent to you via email – [email protected].
