Bypass firewall and OpenDns at school or work

Freegate is our new favorite way to bypass firewalls and Open DNS. Not too long ago, I came across Ultrasurf. It was easiest way to access blocked sites and services at the dorms. Recently IT has figured out how to block it and they've also blocked ultrareach.com. Grrrrr!

Things looked grim at the beginning but then we discovered Freegate! This program helps millions of Internet users in China to access the Internet faster and more stably. Many users report that Freegate makes visiting overseas websites as fast as visiting local ones. Now it is available to users outside China as shareware. Without license, user may be able to use it for a few minutes. Licensed user will be able to use it up to the subscribed amount of data transfer that comes with that license. A unique encryption and compression algorithm is implemented to secure and optimize users online activities.

Version 6.80 supports simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, English, Spanish and Farsi interfaces. If your selected language does not display correctly, please 1) download the dynamic link library (.dll) file from the Dynaweb download page, 2) place it in the same directory as Freegate's executable (.exe) file, and 3) restart Freegate.
