Ultrasurf allows you to visit censored sites with ease.
It hides your IP address so the owners of websites that you visit do not know your real location.
There are many other free tools that can do the same, but its simplicity is hard to beat.
However, Ultrasurf is terribly slow.
Its protection is not as good as VPNs.
If you need anonymity, you should rely on a VPN instead.
As soon as you finish downloading it, extract the zip file, and double-tap on executable file.
Ultrasurf opens its own web page in your net web surfer by default.
If you havent opened any surfing app, Ultrasurf will automatically open it.
This behavior can be disabled if you feel annoyed.
Ultrasurfs main window is as simple as it gets.
It just tells users whether it is connected or still trying to get connected.
There are three buttons on it: Option, Feedback, and Exit.
Dont expect something like a kill switch or split tunneling functionality.
However, it becomes much worse over time that many people abandoned it.
Aside from the lack of advanced protection mechanism, it also suffers from privacy and security issues.
The paper is 28 pages in length.
The existence of better alternatives is one of the major reasons.
Some users still stick to it, however.
Aside from being free, it is also much easier to use than the competing software.
The latest version is more streamlined than the older ones.
No more options to disable or enable hotkey.
No more automatic cookie and history deletion.
No more servers to choose from.
Each to their own though, so feel free to use Ultrasurf if you really want to.
