Psiphon is an iPhone and iPad application that allows users to access to their favorite apps, regardless of where they are in the world. The app is a VPN, or virtual private network, service that provides an extra layer of security when users are connected to public Wifi sources.

In fact, Psiphon is completely free and doesn't require any additional registration. It's easy to download and get set up right away.

Unlike other VPN services, Psiphon extracts all the nitty gritty details of network connection away from the user. The user simply needs to press one button and the service will automatically select the right protocols for the optimal, secure connection.

More advanced users can select their own servers, proxies, regions, and other features in order to customize their connection.

Additionally, there is a subscription option available. For a very low monthly price, users can opt to remove ads and have faster internet browsing speeds. All users are able to try out the service for three free trial days, allowing users to know whether or not the service works for them.
