App Feature

Conduit turns your device into a secure relay that helps Psiphon users access the open internet. It runs in the background, routes only encrypted traffic, lets you set bandwidth/connection limits, and requires no account or content visibility.

Verdict

Verdict: A simple, altruistic relay app that strengthens Psiphon’s network—great for donating bandwidth, not for personal VPN use.

Who is it for

Real-world User Experience

Is it Worth Paying For?

Free with no ads or in‑app purchases. There’s nothing to buy; the ‘value’ is contributing your bandwidth to help others reach the open internet.

How it Compares to Alternatives

Unlike VPN clients (e.g., Psiphon, Proton VPN), Conduit does not tunnel your own traffic—it functions like Tor Snowflake/bridge relays by donating capacity to the network. Compared to running a Tor bridge or custom proxy, it’s far simpler and safer by default, but offers fewer advanced controls and platform targets than power‑user tools. If you need personal circumvention, use the Psiphon client; if you want to strengthen the network with minimal setup, Conduit is a better fit.

Summary

Conduit is a lightweight, privacy‑respecting way to donate bandwidth and resilience to Psiphon’s global censorship‑resistant network. It runs quietly in the background, encrypts all relayed connections, and asks little from the host device beyond the bandwidth limits you set. Reviews highlight ease of use and real‑world impact in improving access, with minor complaints about occasional drops and requests for Wi‑Fi‑only and Linux support. With a high rating and over a million installs, it’s a strong choice for users who want to support open internet access—just note it’s not a VPN for your own browsing.
