Do you have to surf the Internet, but you don't want any stranger to be able to access the contents you share or upload to different sites? Then you should download an application that can give you a hand in these cases. And although there are many that we could consider very good, we do not want to stop referring to one, in particular, UltraSurf, which is one of the most efficient in its field.

UltraSurf is a software that will allow users to obtain a level of privacy and anonymity impossible to achieve in any other way, one thanks to which you can be sure that no one will see the content or data you share and upload, let alone access them to steal them and then use them against you. It is convenient to have this type of protection in some particular circumstances.

How it works

Indeed, UltraSurf works from a series of three servers that we could consider main, thanks to which you can keep your identity hidden all the time. And there are three servers and not one or two because that ensures that in case any of them has problems with operation, we automatically switch to the other without leaving the environments that isolate us, avoiding being exposed.

UltraSurf was initially developed to work with Internet Explorer, the Microsoft browser that used to be one of the most popular in the world, but today we know that it has been left aside by most users. If you use others like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you should know that they can also use their privacy and anonymity without problems.

A not minor detail of UltraSurf is that when we run this little wizard, we will also be able to evade several of the restrictions that some websites put on users according to the geographical area from which they access their content. If you want to watch videos or other elements on a page and cannot do it because of these limits, they will be discarded when using this service.

UltraSurf's user interface is quite simple, taking into account that it does not add more features or configuration options than the ones we have mentioned above, so all you can do is jump from one server to another and little else.

Keep in mind

Although UltraSurf does its job very efficiently, you have to be aware that some websites that aim to collect information about their users and surfers can detect that you are using this tool on your PC. In case that happens, you will find some limitations when viewing the contents of these pages, so you should consider this to evaluate its use in these cases.

On the other hand, it is no less accurate that some users report experiencing a slight slowdown of their connections when using UltraSurf, something that we have not noticed, so it may have to do with the strength of the signal we have available. Therefore, those with a faster network may have the advantage of not noticing a decrease in the performance of the same.

Finally, UltraSurf is a portable application that you can carry on a USB device without any problems running it from there, so you don't need to install it on each computer before using it.

The Best

UltraSurf has many positive features, although if we have to dwell on some of them, we will have to talk then about how easy it is to use this tool since it only offers the essential solutions it promises. Besides that, it takes care of performing a cleanup of both browsing history and cookies automatically. At the same time, as it does not require installation, we can carry it on any Pendrive with us.

The worst

UltraSurf has some minor weaknesses, which do not end up tarnishing the use we can make of this tool. First, we must mention that our connection speed may be slightly affected. Then, it would be best if you did not lose sight of the fact that it is impossible to select the IP on your own. And finally, we would have liked more customization or configuration options.

Rating

If you are looking for an application that allows you to surf anonymously and securely, you don't expect much more than the real possibilities of software of this type. Still, if you want it to be portable and lightweight, UltraSurf is undoubtedly an excellent choice. It is an alternative that complies since it keeps you protected no matter what browser you use, and although it doesn't offer much more, it doesn't demand much from the user.
