About Geph
Geph is an open-source, censorship-resistant VPN engineered to stay nearly invisible against ISPs and national firewalls. It combines two-hop routing, rotating bridge relays, and blind-signature authentication so servers cannot link browsing activity to user identities, even if compromised.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Specifically engineered to defeat ISP-level and national-firewall censorship
- Truly usable free tier with multiple exit countries
- Open-source client and server stack for independent verification
- Blind-signature auth means servers can't link activity to accounts
- Flat, affordable Plus pricing at €5/month
Cons
Key Features
Two-Hop Architecture
Traffic flows through a rotating bridge relay and a separate exit node, isolating identity from browsing activity.
Blind-Signature Authentication
Cryptographically guarantees servers cannot associate sessions with account identifiers, even under compromise.
Rotating Bridge Relays
Per-user dynamic bridge assignment resists enumeration and blocking by censors.
Censorship Resistance
Protocols engineered to evade deep packet inspection used by national firewalls in China, Iran and elsewhere.
Open Source
Entire client and server stack is open source on GitHub for independent audit.
Cross-Platform Clients
Native apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Usable Free Tier
Free plan with multiple exit countries (NL, CA, US, PL, FR) at moderate speeds.
