Sometimes there is a need to transfer files from the remote computer to the local computer in the middle of the presentation, but as due to the default settings of remote desktop connection utility it does not allow transferring of files in between the local and the remote computer.

After a long time a good proxy software has forced me to write about proxy related stuff, this one is called UltraSurf which is best tunnelling software I have used till now.

Previously I had written about JAP which is again a good tunnelling software to access blocked sites but has some connectivity issues some times when connecting to proxy servers and little bit slow at the same time.

Ultrasurf is a easy to use proxy software, as there is no need to install it, just double click the program exe to start it and it auto configures the Internet Explorer and start it also with a home page as google search in Japanese language.

What you can do with Ultrasurf

1. You can access any website form your office ,college or from anywhere you want irrespective of the security policy and blocking method.
