UltraSurf protects your online privacy. How is this done?

In places where internet censorship is enforced by their governments, protecting your privacy is another element to be taken into account, especially when circumventing the government measures. As such, UltraSurf encompasses features to protect your online privacy. UltraSurf will hide your IP address - by which normally your computer can be located - through the use of a proxy server. As such, websites visited and intercepted traffic will be misled and the UltraSurf servers’ IP addresses are changed very frequently to overcome filtering and other IP-based censorship techniques. The client application executed on the user’s computer will create an encrypted HTTP tunnel through which you can use the internet via the provided proxy servers.

Moreover, all communications will be encrypted as well, but we won’t go into more technical details involved here.

By default this application, which is only available for the Windows platform, will run through the standard Internet Explorer browser that comes preinstalled with the operating system, but a Firefox tool is available elsewhere on Winportal as well.
