Great find!

Have you tried it? Is the service fast? Sounds like a great Hotspot Shield alternative...

Also, have a look at this

If you use UltraVPN to commit hacking, you are required to cover your traces.

Never mind, I'm connected through it right now. Surfing is blazing fast and I have peaked 270kB/s on the Ubuntu 8.10 torrent.

hey Renk you testet works it good then i wanna use it

[anon]

I'm using it right now and surfing is fast, as well as BitTorrent transfers - almost full speed without uTP.

HTTPS (port 443) doesn't seem to work, though, but according the admin:

hi, the server 88.191.93.119 doesnt have the https ban. Try for instance 88.191.93.119 on 443

First of all I must say that this is really a great alternative to all the vpn-services out there, since that one is free for all to use!

Because I have only access to the internet via an university proxy, I think I would need some help with getting it to work.
As I could already read in their online manual (HOWTO)
you need to configure the config file in some way. I have already looked up the proxy section but I haven't done anything so far, because of my lacking knowledge.
Therefore I am pinning my hopes on you guys!

Here's the excerpt from the manual:

Connecting to an OpenVPN server via an HTTP proxy.

OpenVPN supports connections through an HTTP proxy, with the following authentication modes:

•No proxy authentication
•Basic proxy authentication
•NTLM proxy authentication

First of all, HTTP proxy usage requires that you use TCP as the tunnel carrier protocol.
So add the following to both client and server configurations:
proto tcp

Make sure that any proto udp lines in the config files are deleted.

Next, add the http-proxy directive to the client configuration file (see the manual page for a full description of this directive).

For example, suppose you have an HTTP proxy server on the client LAN at 192.168.4.1, which is listening for connections on port 1080. Add this to the client config:
http-proxy 192.168.4.1 1080

Suppose the HTTP proxy requires Basic authentication:
http-proxy 192.168.4.1 1080 stdin basic

Suppose the HTTP proxy requires NTLM authentication:
http-proxy 192.168.4.1 1080 stdin ntlm

The two authentication examples above will cause OpenVPN to prompt for a username/password from standard input. If you would instead like to place these credentials in a file, replace stdin with a filename, and place the username on line 1 of this file and the password on line 2.

PS: Can this applied to all proxy servers? The reason I am asking is because ours here is a socks5 proxy.

Every help is appreciated.

Genius program.I like it a lot.Good speeds using it.i just made a speedtest and i'm from Paris.And i had higher speeds too.Good job on finding this.+1 rep

@vDD+wR:

(yes, I like your full name better)

There's an option to make OpenVPN use a SOCKS5 proxy:

--socks-proxy s [p]: Connect to remote host through a Socks5 proxy at address

You'd need to add the following line at the end of client.ovpn in UltraVPN's bin directory:

socks-proxy <proxy IP address here> <proxy port here>

If after doing this you can't connect, change the "proto udp" in the third line to "proto tcp".

Keep me informed of your progress.

Hi Anon

As you observed, this VPN works properly and for the moment, fast

Your last intervention (and the one of vDD+wR) interested me a lot:

I have some VPN clients, PPTP, L2TP and OpenVPN. Is it possible to configure OpenVPN to work through a PPTP VPN (I wish to have My PC => PPTP Vpn Server => OpenVpn Server => The Web) ?

[anon]

OpenVPN doesn't support PPTP

There are three major families of VPN implementations in wide usage today: SSL, IPSec, and PPTP. OpenVPN is an SSL VPN and as such is not compatible with IPSec, L2TP, or PPTP.

If you mean running both VPNs at the same, that's possible if you connect to the PPTP one first and then to UltraVPN, but it puts a higher load on your processor - also, the latter will of course NAT you.

OpenVPN doesn't support PPTP


If you mean running both VPNs at the same, that's possible if you connect to the PPTP one first and then to UltraVPN, but it puts a higher load on your processor - also, the latter will of course NAT you.

My PPTP give me an internal IP 172.xx.xx.xx and an external IP in Hong Kong.

The OpenVpn I have used this morning gave me an internal IP 10.yy.yy.yy and a Canadian external IP.

I have tried to connect first this PPTP, and then this OpenVPN. It seemed to work in the following sense: Canadian IP (from whatismyip) + traffic (it seems) through PPTP.

I will see all that things more precisely later with route print and wireshark, but what are exactly the implications of tour sentence "the later (openvpn) of course NAT you" ? Could you give me more details ? What IP does my OpenVPN provider see ? My external PPTP IP (in HK) or my ISP IP ??

[anon]

Running the PPTP VPN first and then OpenVPN works. If you do it reversed, the former will be unable to connect.

What I meant is that UltraVPN NATs you, but it appears you're talking about a different one?

[Mihai]

I can see it doesn't work for me anymore.When i use it my internet conection goes down and i can't browse the internet until i shut it off.Any ideeas why??

[anon]

Any error messages in OpenVPN's log?

[Mihai]

Here is the pic 'cause i couldn't copy the log.

Disconnect, put the config file from this thread in the %programfiles%\UltraVPN\config folder, and try again.
