If your Office or Institute has Blocked certain sites for Browsing / Surfing / Downloading then don’t loose hope Because there is a way to get rid of such Restrictions and i have myself tested on systems and they passed most of the test.
For the purpose of bypassing such restrictions we will use Third Party tools like “UltraSurf” and “FreeGate” .This guide will explain how to use such tools and surf without restrictions.
How These Tools Work ?
Ans : This Tools bypasses any firewall installed on a network. It uses port 9666 / 8580. Though you include this port on your firewall, it can’t be blocked.This uses SSL/TLS connectivity, so the firewall is unable to act as you can’t go about blocking ssl on your network as the business can’t do without that. It also uses random ports/ servers for connection. If you block the port on the firewall it will use another one.
Moreover this Properties of such tools have made UltraSurf and FreeGate a must tool for Bypassing Restrictions.
They are tunneling software.
It means that they runs on your PC as a server and all internet browsers on your PC connect to this server instead of connecting to the internet and websites directly, so this server takes the requests of the web browsers and encrypts them and sends them to an special internet server on the internet , the internet server decrypts the requests and collect information required from the Tunneling application from your PC, encrypts them and sends them back and the Tunneling application decrypts them and sends them to your browser and you can see what you wanted that the encryption is what hides your Online activity.
For this we need :
- A PC on a LAN with a Restricted Access to the Internet.
- The Software Clients.
- A Browser to surf

After Allowing connections , The Ultrasurf Window will show up along with a Golden Lock at the Lower Right corner of the Windows (Which notifies you of a Secure and encrypted connection).
Plus the above window will get open along with a Internet Explorer Window.Now When the Status Bar is showing errors then for sure the Connection is getting blocked somehow and the server couldn’t be contacted . If not then a status will display “Successfully connected to server!” and you can now freely browse using Internet Explorer but do remember to properly Exit UltraSurf to Close all secure and encrypted connection as well as all instances of Internet Explorer.
Additonal Note : You can also Specify your Proxy address and Port Address to the UltraSurf By Clicking on the “Option” Button and Enter the Specifed Proxy Server address and Port number.

Using FreeGate
- First Download FreeGate from [Download.com]
- Then Run the Software after Download.
- FireFox users Download the GProxy Plugin from [Here]
- The Software will try to Bypass the FireWall and Try to set up a Secure connection.
- After thats done the Interface of FreeGate and Internet Explorer can be seen.
- The Interface and configuring steps of FreeGate is More or less same as UltraSurf as both has the same function and the same features.
However there is a Much Higher Restriction Policy on the use of FreeGate so you won’t be able to Visit sites which are blocked as Per FreeGate Policy of site surfing.

So i guess at the end of the day UltraSurf wins over FreeGate if we take the Ease of configuration / Operating / Independency of Internet Surfing in Mind.
