1361014 2013-11-28 01:41:00 Gave it a go -- Two negative things:

1 . If you use gmail it doesn't work in the privacy / tracking
we would strongly recommend you not log into Gmail while using Epic . Google’s new privacy policy allows it to aggregate your personal data across all its services . So if you’re logged into Gmail, then Google can track your searches .

2 .
Using the proxy will route your browsing through a different IP address effectively hiding your actual IP, but Epic does support Flash which websites can potentially use to gain your actual IP . Java and other plugins can also leak your actual IP . Errr FAIL, looked up whatsmyIP and as soon as I had typed in whats my The IP address popped up . :groan: So much for that . Not that Its a worry, but so far two items it claimed to do it failed at .

Think I'll personally give it a miss ;)

I masked out part of my IP, but its spot on for both the Address and location = Fail - didn't do what it says.

1361017 2013-11-28 03:11:00 Edit to above -- OK found the problem. There were some security settings that had not enabled by default. They had to be turned on.

Once enabled it looks like its working, one INTERESTING thing, THIS SITE PressF1 -- the amount of trackers being blocked :eek:

1361018 2013-11-28 03:54:00 I don't mind, I'm quite happy for search engines to track that it's me and offer me targeted ads as a result. I'd rather see that than viagra ads... Chilling_Silence (9)
