thank you for that list. I will not display my policies here they are way too long. I was not aware of some of the web filters, they appear to be recent additions. I have updated my application and web policies.
application download psiphon
Download https://t.co/W7PbKzhntN
I have also added some of my own categories to cover specific sites that the application used extensively. While I chosen th common one from my setup, I suspect there will be others from different regions. There were other URLs, but they did not appear to be essential to the connection.
indeed I've test on one of my site with app restriction and there are a few (very few, as 10 packets in several days) psiphon blocked connections. Same, on this site I'm sure noone has installed that on purpose.
Can someone explain what this psiphon event is? I've confirmed I don't see an installation of psiphon on the user's computer. the direction is incoming, hopefully something triggered by ads on WSJ.com. I'd like to confirm the computer is not infected with anything.
Direction is incoming with relation to Fortigate. You can see it is LAN->WAN so something on the user's computer was destined for port 443 on host. There are open nodes on the psiphon network that doesnt require client software to be loaded. -tools/ch016_using-psiphon2-open-nodes Not sure if this is what you are seeing, but just more info.
I'd just like to add that since 2.8.2019 I've seen this signature pop up for traffic going to a myriad of websites, coming from a handful of workstations that do not appear to have the psiphon application installed. I'm currently leaning towards a theory that the signature for this application got an update or something and now it's causing false positives, but that's just my theory. I have a ticket opened for it.
Once you start the application, you'll be connected to the Psiphon servers, which give you access, through a network of proxies, to any website in the world without the danger of being discovered in the process. This means that you can anonymously and freely surf the entire web.
OK question for you guys.... Just setting up a brand new fortigate 200f firewall.. It's company policy to not allow vpns on our network.. Has anyone successfully blocked psiphon with a fortigate? I'm having issues... App control signature still allows it to connect. Yes I have ssl deep packet inspection on. Am I missing something
Let me ask some helps from you all, i'm facing some case that i'm trying to block vpn application at our fortigate firewall, cloudflare and psiphon vpn apps:. It does not work using p2p and proxy to deny these apps:. Cloudflare is ok to deny by blocking cloudflare used ip address and ports. But, psiphon is not ok to block by choosing psiphon at application.
You've set up a safe and secure environment only to have an avoidance application circumvent the security measures you've set in place. One such application is Psiphon, and if you're looking to defeat it, you've come to the right place.
A new hot topic this week as community member VinceM was looking for a good way to block Psiphon and several of our members pitched in with creative ways to go about blocking this evasive application.
Psiphon is a tunneling application designed to circumvent censorship and filtering. It utilizes VPN, SSH and HTTP Proxy technologies to provide access to its users that would otherwise be impossible by security policy, for example. It will, however, not be able to provide any sort of security to its users, so allowing this application within your organization could potentially expose sensitive information to be leaked into unknown hands.
To block Psiphon, Palo Alto Networks has created an application that can be used in a blocking security policy to prevent these types of connections from bypassing your security. Additional to the application, enable SSL decryption and set to block unsupported cypher suites. The psiphon application in VPN mode behaves exactly like a regular IPsec VPN so this is why we can't block it by just blocking psiphon application in the security policy.
But why stop at Psiphon? There are many avoidance applications out there with more being added as demand rises from users wanting to bypass restrictions. A good way to keep up with new applications is use of Application Filters and blocking applications based on behavior rather than manually adding each individual application to the security policy.
In the Objects tab, look for the Application Filters. Once you create a new AF group, you can select the behavior you would like to create a group for. In this case, the 'proxy' subcategory and the 'evasive' characteristic populates the application list with all currently known avoidance applications. The cool thing here is that the AF group is automatically updated each time a new application is added to the latest content package, which matches the chosen characteristics of the group. Automatic updating ensures your security policy is always up to date.
Such applications of proxy avoidance always tries to be one step ahead of the people who try to control it. This is what making them to be in service and make people to use it. Successful block of such application can be only achieved with a multi-layer approach. IMHO the some of these should be as below
It should be detected as a potentially unsafe application. This type of detection is disabled by default as it covers legitimate applications that can be misused for malicious purposes. You can enable detection at your discretion.
For quite sometime I use a free application called Psiphon under Windows which can unblock restricted websites and media services in my country (like- reddit, mediafire, Spotify etc.) with good speed and download support. It has no Linux version- Psiphon Uncensored Internet access for Windows and Mobile
I use Psiphon.The problem is that Psiphon does not tunnel all applications (especially those that do not support proxies).Psiphon uses a local proxy, but why doesn't Psiphon use TAP-Windows instead ?Cordially.
Binding services can merge legitimate applications with malicious code, often complete malware payloads, making the host app appear innocuous, and keeping the risky activities hidden from security tools.
In SSH and SSH+ modes, Psiphon 3 automatically sets the Windows system proxy settings and traffic for applications that respect these settings tunnel through Psiphon 3. These settings are respected by default by all major web browsers.
A: Psiphon 3 will automatically configure your system to use a local HTTP/HTTPS proxy at 127.0.0.1:8080 and a local SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1:1080. Windows applications that use the System Proxy Settings will automatically be proxied. You may manually configure other applications to use these local proxies. Both Psiphon 3 for Windows (SSH modes) and Psiphon 3 for Android run these local proxies.
Psiphon can mount proxy HTTP/SOCKS via tunnels. All the traffic of this application will bypass the port TCP 80 by default. So you must to have a firewall capable to inspect your packets to see which packets are real HTTP packets and HTTP proxy packets.
Ok folks, so here it is. After fighting this monster for about 9 months, I finally figured out how to stop PSiphon from running on my computers. PSiphon is a standalone program, because it does not install itself to the computer, there are no hash's or certificates to manipulate. I finally google'd how to stop .exe files from running and low and behold there it was. You have to set up a GPO to prevent psiphon3.exe from running. You will create this rule under the user configuration\administrative templates\system\Don't run specified windows application. From here you can figure out the rest. Now I have tried to run it on the computer, from the website and from a drive stick and they all failed to run. Can't wait for morning to get here so I can implement this on the computers at work. Hope this helps.

What's more, the command-and-control infrastructure is also said to have hosted Android applications in the form of DEX and APK files, raising the possibility that the threat actor is also simultaneously developing malware aimed at mobile users.
Github repo can be forked and compare the updates via upstream, if Github can intergrate all relevant forked repos (networks) and all users can optional choose update from some/all repos, it can make the application upgrade to be best among contribution among some/all repos.
