I couldn't block it with Endian Firewall.

I used Symantec Endpoint Protection - Application control policies and blocked all versions of ultrasurf using the MD5 hash of the program.

I am interested however if you find a way to block Ultrasurf using Endian Firewall Smiley

I haven't tested it, but opendns should be able to block this.

@xsidx: How exactly would opendns block this app?

Like i said I haven't tested it. This came up on a search I made to answer the question, and some comments where that opendns would block it, I just passed it on.

But to answer your question, Ultrasurf is a proxy browser app, which needs to connect to a proxy server, Opendns is updated daily with new proxy sites, and if this software tries to contact that proxy while you have opendns working for you, it should block the app from contacting its server, now if this app actually connects directly to the proxy server with a given IP, all you then have to do is find that ip and block it with a rule.

PS. I run opendns, and have been doing so for years now, and everytime I tested one of these programs it has been able to block it. I haven't test ultrasurf yet, but I will next week.

 OPENDNS.COM FTW!!!!

Tested it today at my site and application stalled at "contacting server", it was not able to connect to its server, and it does not open IE until it connects.

I tested application on Endian 2.4.0 with opendns and it did not worked, tested also on endian with out opendns and just content filter (I did not modify my current policy) and ultrasurf worked with no problem. My guess is that this app does use dns in order to resolve the primary or several servers to establish secured tunnel and let you use proxy... but if dns is being filtered and does not allow access to resolve ip, then it will not connect to the proxy server.

Hope this helps you with your Ultrasurf problem! let us know!!  Grin

Good write up about Ultrasurf http://www.m86security.com/KB/Attachments/Ultrasurf-GUID78cf6064c4d04affa2e177bc01284be4.pdf

A little out-dated but still a good write up about Ultrasurf:
Quote
Ultrasurf is a very sophisticated piece of software. It uses a distributed
network of proxy servers, installed and maintained by volunteers around the world much
like a peer-to-peer network. It uses multiple schemes to locate the proxy servers in its
network, spanning different protocols. It uses port and protocol tunneling in order to
trick security devices into ignoring it or mishandling it. It also uses encryption and
misdirection to thwart efforts to investigate how it works.

I tried blocking the IP addresses and domain names of the proxy servers that Ultrasurf uses to no avail.  The newer versions are even more advanced and all traffic is encrypted.  I am using OpenDNS + Endian Firewall and found that Ultrasurf still works if you let it try all methods of connecting (leave it running for a  of minutes).

If you can block the application from running using Group Policy or Anti-Virus software here is a list of MD5 hashes that i have gathered so far:

Ultrasurf MD5's for all versions: (versions that have 2 MD5's are ZIP and EXE)

I tested it for a few mins, and it was blocked... but I'll test it tomorrow for 30 mins just to double check, I plan on running it right before i go have lunch, then ill see if it connected by the time i get back...

I did read that write up you posted, and it gave me another idea, prohibit proxy settings to user under group policies and can also prevent the program from interacting with IE. Just an Idea, I'll test it tomorrow as well.

hey, I tested it on a computer under my admin account and it did work, Also I know exactly why it did not work when I tested it the first time and it was completely blocked, and this was due to the fact that I tested it on my blue network right after I had just set it up, and the day after that I realize that I wasn't allowing https on outgoing firewall rules for blue interface.

So my apologies on that, Opendns had nothing to do with it from the beginning.

I will try out these 2 test next week, and see how they go.

1. I will run a packet sniffer on Ultrasurf and that should give me the address of the 3 servers it connects to using https, and should be able to block the ip with endian.

2. If not am almost 100% sure that this app needs access to connection settings under IE to change your proxy settings for it to work, disabling access to it from group policy should stop this.
    (I noticed proxy changes to loopback ip on port 9666 in IE when you run the program.)

hey, i block ultrasur, just block on the firewall the port 443, because ultrasurf used this port to connect to their servers.
yeah, i know the port 443 is used to all secure conections, but you can create a rule to opened this port just to give permision to gain access to, gmail, hotmail or another web site that use this port.

sorry, my english is so bad, my real native languaje is spanish.

i hope this will be helpful  to somebody.!!!
