Proxy tunnel and connection status
Psiphon opens to a dark home screen with client version, HTTP proxy status, stop button, and open-browser control. The stats and logs tabs show connection time, sent and received traffic, tunnel startup entries, SOCKS and HTTP proxy ports, server connection lines, and tunnel state changes.
This is useful for users who want visible technical feedback while a tunnel is running. Network routing tools can affect privacy, speed, and access reliability, so users should understand what traffic is being routed before depending on the connection.
Options, regions, and personal pairing
The options tab includes server region selection, VPN settings, proxy settings, personal pairing, feedback, and more options. The app also shows a Conduit prompt for helping people access Psiphon in the user's region and a personal-pairing guide with an NFC waiting dialog.
These features support both basic connection use and more advanced sharing or pairing scenarios. Users should be cautious with pairing and regional settings because they may expose connection habits or involve another nearby device.
This gives the section a clearer user value by connecting the main feature to a concrete mobile use case, session goal, or replay reason.
Permissions and VPN privacy
Android settings show notifications, location, supported links, storage, mobile data, battery, and application data controls. Notifications were allowed and location was listed as not allowed during the visible settings path for local privacy review.
VPN and proxy apps can see connection metadata and may route browsing through remote infrastructure. Users should review notification visibility, location access, proxy settings, personal pairing, mobile data behavior, tunnel duration, local browser use, data limits, and battery impact before leaving Psiphon connected.
