## Description

**Conduit** by the team behind Psiphon helps expand access to the open internet through secure, encrypted connectivity. Run a free local station from your Android device to route traffic for Psiphon users in restricted regions, while controlling bandwidth and connection limits without accessing browsing history or message content.

Use **Personal Pairing** to share a private connection with trusted friends and family through a customizable link. For always-on access, Hosted Conduit provides two dedicated cloud stations operated by Psiphon: one supporting the broader network and one private station for personal sharing. Hosted plans cost $9.99 per month or $99 per year and renew automatically through Google Play.
