    Psiphon is not used for window phones which are non android. My acknowledgement also goes to psiphone as it enables us to use facebook in our country where our government intentionally closed internet access.

    It is a proxy/vpn service that does the exact same thing as Psiphon 3. It does, however, have a low data limit.
