Recent settings of Cyberoam Bypassed

Cyberoam again has applied some new settings....Owing to which sites have been blocked again and Facebook has become inaccessible before 7 pm and moreover torrent downloads have been restricted once again....No more Proxifier until we discover a new port....


I have discovered a new easier way to unblock all sites as well as download torrents anonymously. The simple loophole in cyberoam is that it cannot block the port forwarded to specific softwares such as You Freedom or Ultrasurf . These softwares use a specific reserved port for connecting to their servers. In our case we will use Ultrasurf .


Download Ultrasurf from here..Ultrasurf  or its easily available on DC under my share (Nick name - SkyriderAJ™  filename - U1017) ....
Be sure to save it on desktop and then log in to cyberoam . After logging in double click on Ultrasurf icon and then click on Options -> Tick on 'Do not use IE ' ... After that exit Ultrasurf and restart it . Let it connect to the server (can take some time) . After connection the ultrasurf dialog box should look as below ....




Now for the setting in firefox . Open Firefox . Go to Options -> Network tab -> Configure how firefox connects to internet settings tab . A dialog box shows up . Select Manual proxy Configuration . In HTTP proxy type 'localhost'  and in port type  '9666' and also check 'Use this proxy server for all protocols'.......Done.....!! :) ..Now you can access all blocked sites ...





You will have to change network setting back to ' Use system proxy settings' if you don't want to use proxy in firefox settings box . To prevent this hard work there is an addon available for mozilla . Download it here .. Ultrasurf Addon for Mozilla .....

Open it with mozilla firefox and let it install (requires browser restart after install) . And then enable Addon Bar from the View menu of firefox . You will see a grey icon on right bottom side of browser . Click on it and it automatically sets the proxy(grey icon turns green) for you . Clicking on it again disables proxy ....



The same settings of proxy can be applied in utorrent application connection settings to download torrents .


This trick can be used as a temporary remedy to access the internet freely ......eNjOy...... :)

RUMOR : INDIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM DECLARED BEST BY UNESCO

Its miserable that how people easily fall prey to the spams related to nation on the internet and other media .
People easily believed when a hoax that our National Anthem is written in the praise of King George V spreaded like fire....And now when an individual posts on Facebook that "UNESCO has declared our National Anthem has been declared best in the world" ; people without giving it a second thought like or comment "Gr8..!! Proud to be an Indian.." on it in overwhelming spirit of patriotism . Those who believe it are hurting their own sentiments in the form of disguise . You would frequently find a post on Facebook like the one below ...




This spam further pushes your mind on re-posting it as your own status or on another's wall ....
This is not the end ....
An email or text message subjected as following  "Congrats to all the Indians..! "  has landed into the inbox of millions of Indians till date . Such an email shows the image of our National Flag with our National Anthem jotted below it . Such emails further stress us to forward it to all in the contacts list and we even carry out this task without further thinking ...


I personally have received such emails and the tendency to get these emails increases on the occasion of 'Independence Day' making it more realistic to us . Its surprising that such emails have been circulating since 2008 and are continuing to circulate till date..!
The India Today Magazine emailed to UNESCO asking the truth value of such mails and below was the reply that they received ... 

" We are aware of several blogs in India reporting this story, but can assure you that UNESCO has made no such announcement concerning the anthem of India or any country.."
You can have a glance at the complete article of India Today dated September 30,2008  here ..


And logically if UNESCO had made any such announcement ; it would have published it on its official website  
UNESCO Official Website ..But there isn't a sign of such thing .

Rather if this was true our media is not so dumb not to publish this revolutionary news in the newspapers or in the T.V. coverage news....!! 

Besides UNESCO is not such a small scale organization that would waste its time in revising the anthem of every country and providing such titles .


But why blame others for setting fire to this hoax ..? Despite many blogs have actually written about this hoax ; most of us are still unaware of it and forward messages to friends without looking for authenticity ....The people knowingly or unknowingly involved in it are actually playing with the sentiments of millions of Indians .....


Please lend a hand in providing this piece of information to others and play our part as worthy Indians ....
" A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get it's boots on.... "
  - James Watt
Lastly Happy Independence Day to all .....!! Proud to be a part of great nation.... :)




Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore
