How to Use Ultrasurf Proxy Software to Unblock Blocked Websites

Posted: 13 Mar 2010 02:43 PM PST

Last time I had written post on Download ultra surf: Free desktop proxy software to unblock any website. Till now I'm using it effectively and it is helping me a lot to remove internet censorship. This tutorial is for all those who are not aware of how they can use Ultra surf proxy software.

Download ultra surf and once download is completed. Simply start the software. Once you will run this software, it will try to connect to its server and if it's successfully connected. You can start browsing directly from Internet explorer.

How to Connect if I'm behind a Proxy firewall?

In some colleges and office, you need proxy settings to access internet. In this case open Ultra surf, click on options and configure your proxy settings to connect to internet. Now it will connect to its server using your provided proxy settings.

How to configure different browsers to use Ultra surf settings ?

When you open Ultra surf, it will automatically configure your Internet explorer settings to use Ultra surf proxy settings. But if you want to use it on other browser like Mozilla firefox or anything else, you need to change the proxy settings of browser to use :

IP : 127.0.0.1
Port : 9666

I hope this tutorial will help you a lot to access useful sites which are accidentally blocked due to your firewall software or hardware in your organization.

Do let us know which other software do you use apart from Ultra surf ?

Google buzz is in news from some time now and slowly but its getting hype among internet users. Integrating Google buzz into Gmail is the best thing Buzz developer did, but this also created problem for lots of email notification. Google buzz announced that they will be rolling out updates soon, in which you can control your email notification for buzz.

For now, when ever any one comment on your post created on Buzz, you receive an email notification, and by any chance if you buzz a lot, your email is full of notification.

5 Great extensions with Google Wave

Posted: 13 Mar 2010 01:53 AM PST

Is Google Wave really worth visiting all over again? I am not sure about it’s pros and cons but a lot of people signed up with a lot of hope and expectations and really thought it would take over the internet but were a let down more than a little because when we all used it, it seemed like a over glorified version of Gmail. We even wondered on how it will make money with an apps store? But the fact is a lot of people are really forgetting about Google Wave.

But there are some great extensions with Google Wave you can use and I thought I would pick out 5 of them for you.

How to enable an extension in wave?

Sign in to your Google Wave account.
Here you will on the left hand side see Navigation tab. In it click on Extension and you will get a list of extensions you can subscribe with Wave.

Mind Mapping is a software which allows you to create work flow charts and share them in real time with your contacts on Wave. Also someone added to the wave can look it up by the play back feature.
