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
_____________________________________________
Using UltraSurf
- Download UltraSurf from UltraReach’s website
- Or Directly Download from [Here].
- Additionally FireFox users have to download a Additional Plugin along with this Software.You can download it by Clicking – [Here]
- After you Download the UltraSurf Software just save it.
- Firefox users additionally install the Supplied Plugin by Extracting the ZIP package and Draging and Dropping the ”wjbutton_en.xpi” on FireFox and then Install it and restart it to take effect.
- Now Start the UltraSurf Program.
- If the interface is not shown up then see if the firewall is Blocking access to it like the following as in case of ZoneAlarm.If it is then Allow all connections through it.
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.

Is it possible to detect who is bypassing the cyberoam?
@Manoj : No , The Firewall cannot log a Secure and encrypted connection . as I said above that the Connection that is being created is Secure using SSL / TLS so its not possible for the firewall to detect such intrusions and so you can bypass the Firewall without even getting detected or Logged by it.
Hello Kuntal How r u? In the organisation where i m working, they use cyberoam and all of us have given a passowrd and username to access the internet. Until not we put the passwords we cannot use internet. I also use Ultrasurf to get on some sites but yesterday i found an webpagehttp://docs.cyberoam.com/default.asp?id=170&Lang=1&SID= on cyberoam that shows cyberoam can detect Ultrasurf versions up to 8.9, Although i m using 9.3. But the question is, can it detect 9.3 also or find the ip address which we were provided, when we use Ultrasurf. Thanks my weblog http://advancetechnology.today.com
@Rakesh : I read in manual in full and found that , the problem was due to the Override of Two SSL constant connection and the Bug was detected as :Bug ID – 5487Description – Certain Internet Banking sites were not accessible due to Ultrasurf IDP signature.That was fixed and made detectable to prevent the use of UltraSurf BUT upto version 8.9 and not beyond that , as the UltraSurf evolves its also and nature of bypassing with subsequent version update. So you don't have to worry until your network admin updates the cyberoam version to detect more advanced version of UltraSurf.So surf freely until your Admin does that.
@Rakesh : I confirmed that from a friend who works in the eLiteCore System which develops the "Cyberoam" , He confirmed that ONLY if the Firewall has been upgraded to a higher version then it can block UltraSurf and can Log it , but it wont do that until up gradation of it.Confirmed Fact!!
Thanks Kunal for your confirmation but can you explain if we are using ultrasurf to bypass sites like orkut or any other site, then what is stored in cyberoam's index page history of viewed page, what i am think there should be any encrypted page but what it would be? In our organisation almost every site was blocked and i owns a blog site where i have to put some mateial daily and i visit "http://advancetechnology.today.com" using Ultrasurf i wonder how Cyberoam keeping the track of visited site.Thanx for your reply
@Rakesh : I will soon get back to you as soon as i confirm this issue and its effects.
Hi all, cyberoam can block all version of ultrasurf, signature for 8.9 detect and drop ultrasurf version up to 9.3 and they have given new signature for ultrasurf 9.4 which was not able to block using signature of 8.9.ALL WORDS WRITTEN ARE CONFIRMED.
@Rakesh : Well you heard that , *sigh* , so the hopes still awake for those whose systems are not Updated with those IP Signatures.
Thanx Kuntal, for all your support, but still the suspicion remains wheteher what is stored in the cyberoam's index history of viewed pages. Don't you have any clue…
Re: Kuntal one more question, in our oraganisation we have provided with unique IP address with a defalt gateway and a log in password. And if we use Ultrasurf then which IP will be send to the server the original one or any different IP (one thing to remember we can not log into fir internet connection without entering the password and login name provided to us)
hi kuntal i work as an IT admin i want to know how i can block Ultrasurf using my Zywall firewwall device'
@Rakesh : Sorry for the Late reply , was caught up with other jobs.Here are the Confirmed Answers :Q : "but can you explain if we are using ultrasurf to bypass sites like orkut or any other site, then what is stored in cyberoam's index page history of viewed page, what i am think there should be any encrypted page but what it would be? In our organisation almost every site was blocked and i owns a blog site where i have to put some mateial daily and i visit "http://advancetechnology.today.com" using Ultrasurf i wonder how Cyberoam keeping the track of visited site."Ans : If you go through SSL tunnel which is used by ultrasurf then it won't keep the track of the website you surf though that tunnel.But it will keep track of destination of that tunnel.Example : If you go to Google.com , then don't worry , no links including the IPs will be logged.Q : In our oraganisation we have provided with unique IP address with a defalt gateway and a log in password. And if we use Ultrasurf then which IP will be send to the server the original one or any different IP (one thing to remember we can not log into fir internet connection without entering the password and login name provided to us)Ans : When you've given an IP address then the given IP would go to cyberoam.In Short : Your IP will be logged , Not the site you access.
@Anonymous : You might be interested in this : <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qqps4rhttp://tinyurl.com/qqps4r<br />The Change in UltraSurf or similar Tunelling softwares are becoming better and better and the Protocol and Breaking systems keep on changing.So there isn't a permanent solution.Just keep your Fingers Crossed.
