Ultrasurf and NotMyIP are two very similar tools to hide/change your IP address. Due to the fact that Ultrasurf is very well know and consequently blocked by many security products and filter, NotMyIP has gained lately a lot of popularity.
On Privacy-Gateway.com, the home of NotMyIP, I have found an interesting comparison between the 2 products. From the very beginning, Privacy-Gateway team declares that NotMyIP was not built to replace Ultrasurf but more to be an alternative when Ultrasurf is blocked.
Here is the comparison as found on Privacy-Gateway.com:
| NotMyIP | Ultrasurf | |
| Free tool | Yes | Yes |
| One click IP change | Yes | Yes |
| Changes your IP to a US one |
Yes | Yes |
| Changes your IP to a non-US IP address |
No | No |
| Clears your browser cookies | No | Yes |
| Automatically configures IE |
Yes | Yes |
| Automatically configures Firefox |
Yes | No, an add-on must be installed. |
| Automatically configures other browsers | Yes | No, manual configuration is needed. |
| Seen as malware by security solutions |
Not yet | Very probable |
| Blacklisted IPs | No | Most of them (every version exposes different IPs) |
| Speed | Medium | Medium |
What do I think?
In my opinion, both products are good and provide solid browsing anonymity. Similar features, similar performance. What I appreciate to NotMyIP is that fact that it performs auto configuration for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. No need for add-ons or other manual configs.
What do you think?
Have you tried Ultrasurf and/or NotMyIP? What do you think of them? Which one is better?

i’m trying to run not my ip with my sandboxie interface and it’s not working.so i hope they will make it compatible with sandboxie program.
i want to be able to run such programs without full written installation for beta testings safety and privacy reasons.is it too much for not my ip to make it work?
Not my IP is being overrated by this site.
We will not buy products of the author.
@kupalogski – NotMyIP works well for me, so it’s normal to give credit to the product and to the author.
Secondly, the information posted here is taken from a comparison made by Privacy-Gateway.com (as mentioned in the post).
