Ultrasurf Editor's Review

Keep your web surfing habits private with this easy to use Windows tool.

Protecting your privacy while surfing on line is a big problem, and something that we take seriously here at Soft32. This is the biggest reason why we like applications like Ultrasurf. It’s a privacy application for windows that helps keep your surfing habits secret.

Ultrasurf provides strong privacy protection with none of the confusing setups of other proxy tools. You'll be ready to privately and securely surf the internet with Ultrasurf's fast, private proxies moments after installation finishes. Ultrasurf is very easy to configure.

When you launch this program for the first time, Ultrasurf loads Internet Explorer automatically. Thankfully, it also supports other browsers. Ultrasurf has a very simple interface with Home, Retry, Option, Help, and Exit buttons. However, its golden lock icon, which showed up on our Windows Taskbar after we started the program, is a bit awkward. However, we were able to hide it.

If you like to protect your privacy or can't access certain Web sites due to censorship, Ultrasurf will be the easiest gateway for you. It doesn't have a lot of options, but it does what it's designed to do.

App Pro’s: Easy to install and use

App Con’s: Golden lock system tray icon is a bit goofy

Conclusion: Overall, Ultrasurf is very easy to use and page-loading time while browsing is fast. It’s ideal for people who don't know much about how proxies work.  You don't have to assign any port numbers or play with the features in order to hide your IP address. Those who are familiar with proxy servers can also change their settings manually if they wish.
