Written by Nicole Levine, MFA

This wikiHow teaches you how to use an app called Ultrasurf to get past the WatchGuard proxy server on your computer.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore in Google Chrome. This opens the Chrome web store. This method will work for Windows and macOS.
It’s at the top-left corner of the store.
It’s at the top-right corner of the window. A confirmation message will appear.
In a few moments, Ultrasurf will be installed in your web browser. A new icon will appear in the icon bar near the top-right corner of Chrome.
It’s the globe icon with a ring around it and an overlapping sailboat.
If you see the word “Connected,” just click anywhere else on the page to close the extension. Otherwise, slide the switch to the On position. Now that the extension is enabled, your web traffic will go through Ultrasurf instead of the regular network proxy.
