UltraReach Internet Technology Overview

Internet anti-censorship technology was thought of as a “mission impossible” three years ago. At UltraReach, we’ve done throughout R&D on existing technologies as well as from end users’ perspective. While other existing technologies were developed for user’s privacy and anonymity on Internet, we solved the connection and reconnection problem, which is the key issue for user to access web site without being blocked. Built on solid theoretical analysis and professional quality, UltraReach has successfully invented the technology platform called the GIFT system, which offers the following advantages:

• Guaranteed connection and reconnection service
• Capable of serving very large number of users with affordable resource
• Minimized loss of user’s connections if blockage occurs from censors who act as regular users (spy users)
• Maximized effective connection performance by instant IP update
• Censor behavior detection and counter-blocking – for the event the censor agents detecting the service and try to block the access
• Over Industry standard encryption for end user safety (The degree of encryption is more than that for financial data transfer online)
• Client software for easy use and non-client version for end user flexibility

More than two years of live performance has proved that the GIFT technology has successfully broken through the national Internet great firewalls of China. The outstanding performance of GIFT has made UltraReach Internet (aka 无界浏览 Surfing Without Borders, 无界漫游 Roaming Without Borders, 无界网络 Internet World Without Borders) well known among the people who seek the global Internet freedom, and at the meantime attracted heavy attacks from Internet police from the country. The GIFT system has survived various assaults including IP blocking, DNS hijacking, DOS attacking etc. We’ve taken the threats from the censors as opportunities to continuously improve the performance and reliability of our technology.

Applying the unique UltraReach Internet solution to emailing, we can successfully deliver millions of emails to censored regions/countries without being blocked and filtered. The new technology for bulk email from UltraReach doesn't depend on open-relay proxy resource on Internet which is found less and less these days. Email becomes an effective way to expand users as well as keep users contacted and highly retented in a very large scale.
