The UltraSurf Firefox tool is a program that allows you to hide your location when you are online. This program prevents firewalls and filters from stopping you from visiting certain websites. It also allows you to access websites that are not available in your country.

#1: The Pros

  • This program runs at all times when you are surfing the Internet. The program uses several servers to hide your location from filters.
  • The program is easy to use. It tells you when you are online, and it tells you when the service is not working. You can stop using a website until you have re-established a connection.
  • This program produces a small flame on your web browser that tells you it is working. The program is simple to understand, and it is functional when you are trying to be productive.

#2: The Cons

  • Ultrasurf cannot be downloaded if you are on a computer that is already behind a firewall or filter. You must download this program onto a flash drive so that you can get it on your computer.
  • Some employers will use programs to check your hard drive for these downloads. It may be against the computer policy for your company.
  • UltraSurf hides you behind a firewall, but you must remember that it cannot prevent you from getting viruses or malware from other websites.
  • UltraSurf may need to be updated from time to time to get around new filters and firewalls that are found on computer systems. If you download this version of the program, you may need to upgrade sometime in the near future.

You can get around a filter at your job if you use UltraSurf, but you need to make sure you are using this program wisely and in accordance with your company's computer usage policy.
