Why this matters
When internet access in Iran is limited or unstable, each volunteer node can make a real difference.
Psiphon Conduit is an open-source tool that turns your device into a bridge. This helps some users in Iran connect to a more open internet.
What Psiphon Conduit does
- Iran has one of the largest Psiphon user bases globally.
- Open Source: A secure and transparent system.
- You can adjust the bandwidth usage at any time.
- Since it consumes battery and data, it is best to run it on a PC/Laptop with unlimited internet.
- The system routes help where it is needed most; you do not choose the destination.
What you need before running it
- A PC or laptop that can stay online for long hours.
- Stable internet, ideally with a high or unlimited data plan.
- Awareness that it will use power and data during operation.
Note for users in Iran
Connecting from inside Iran usually requires Psiphon, and it may take patience, especially during heavy filtering.
Final thought
Free internet is a right, not a privilege.
If you can, running a Conduit station is a practical way to help.
