So what exactly it is??
It is the flagship software product from UltraReach Internet Corp. for Internet anti-censorship. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely. it enables users to browse any website freely just the same as using the regular IE browser while it automatically searches the highest speed proxy servers in the background.
What does it means??
- 100% freedom to have 100% information in most secure way.
- It means no matter where you are you can access 100% free version of internet I mean no firewalls no restriction nothing….
- Almost all schools, universities and corporate offices raise firewalls to filter out not work related sites, now those firewalls will be of no use or they have to change their plans.
- Everybody can access various social networks like Orkut, Youtube, Myspace, Hi5, Facebook, Linkedin etc. which are blocked almost in 99% schools and offices.
- 100% real time and it’s encryption is better then any online banking system.
How to get going??
It’s very simple you have to just-
- download an exe file
- then extract it
- and run
- Set proxy if u have any (generally in offices internet are provided through proxies, you can find that, through tools, internet options, Connections,LAN Settings, there you are with proxy server for your LAN and it’s port
- Just copy that to proxy settings of Ultrasurf.
- Then a window will pop up, says some thing in Chinese, just close this window
- And open fresh internet explorer
- There you are, you can surf any information.
- For office people: beware don’t spread words to your colleagues keep this info as limited as you can, coz if system people got to know about it then they’ll take your comp for scrutinizing.
What is the Flip Side??
I should start with a quote that I’ve learnt in my life
“Too much freedom can Make you or it can Break you”
The flip side is that you can access to anything, I thing you got my point, In school, universities and Work office various sites are blocked to raise their efficiency and productivity, and it is very much likely that if anyone get freedom he/she will definitely try to miss use it.

Some Useful tips:
I’ve heard one thing many times that Ultra Surf is slowing down net speed or Ultra Surf is not working or something like that but after so many experience of Q&A and personal experience i’ve found that it’s not the Ultra Surf but it’s the net connection that has problemo…..
- Check your net connection remember that it needs certain level of net speed to run Ultra Surf smoothly.
- check proxy settings of Ultra Surf, when u download fresh version u need to tweak proxy settings of Ultra Surf. do that manually, also sometimes proxy setting of Ultra Surf get vanished automatically.. do check for proxy setting and feed it manually. For any kind of browser Proxy IP address is 127.0.0.1 with port :9666 and For Ultra Surf it depends upon your network.
- 8.8 is the latest one and it is the best coz when there is no net connectivity it automatically flashes a message…. it won’t hang u there for retry
- also last tip is that when net slows down or ain’t working at all, just exit Ultra Surf and re start it. instead of retry.. try exit and re start it…trust me retry is bad idea. just restart the whole thing.
[Update:10.08.2007] If you are using browser other than IE, then you have to manually change your proxy IP address to 127.0.0.1 with port :9666 of Firefox browser.
[Update:02.02.2008] For Mac Users, change your proxy IP address to 127.0.0.1 with port :9666 of Safari browser.

By stasik : “Solution for those u can not download it at office: after work go to internet cafe, download the soft and send it urself to ur mail. Next day at work open the mail save the soft and use it. There is no need to uninstall in case u dont need it. Just delete the u.exe file and thats all.
(How come u can not download it at work from site provided but will be able to download from ur email?????)”

Peter from Global Internet Freedom Inc. -
“While our tools (GPass/GTunnel/Freegate/Ultra Surf/FirePheonix) helped users in closed societies to access censored information on the Internet freely, the authorities in some places (like China) found a way to block us through anti-virus scanners. They just reported our software as virus or mal-ware. Some of these anti-virus companies are not responsible enough in their classification. It seems they just labeled our software as backdoor if enough people reported us that way.
In the past, we interacted with some of these anti-virus companies (including Symantec and Kaspersky), and upon close examination of our software, they reverted their signature database. But there are too many anti-virus companies for us to deal with now to clear all the record.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. But GPass/GTunnel/Freegate/Ultra Surf/FirePheonix are definitely not virus or backdoor. However, please download them from our official websites or reputable download sites such as download.com or Tucows.com, and check the digital signatures before running. In the past, in China, some evil guys added virus to our software and emailed it to many users. Please be alert and do not just run any file you download before verifying the signature or source.”
