In countries with strict control over international internet access, there's a significant demand for user firewalls. Traditionally, users have sought free firewall bypass software like Ultrasurf or Hotspot Shield. However, free software often comes with slow and unstable access speeds. To obtain a reliable service, users usually have to pay fees, leaving many dissatisfied.
A piece of good news for internet users is that at the Ideas Summit in New York, Google introduced the uProxy service. It integrates Peer-to-Peer technology while serving as a virtual private network. Unlike regular proxy services where ISPs can block the proxy's IP, Google announced that uProxy will deploy P2P technology. With this P2P technology, it remains unblocked by internet service providers (ISPs). If successful, it would be a perfect solution. The fantastic aspect is that Google's products are always free for individual users.
Currently, the domain uproxy.org has been chosen for this product, and the website already features an introduction video and some basic information about the service.
If uProxy becomes available, internet users in certain countries, like China, would rejoice. For a long time, they couldn't access Google services. This move by Google aims to help users achieve more freedom in internet access.
Let's look forward to uProxy and see how it performs. Meanwhile, while waiting for uProxy's launch, we can still explore familiar firewall bypass software.
