That's because they only forward your search to their third-party provider, nothing else.Hey all! Let me ask you a question. You have to pay $2.50 monthly for the service, but epic assures you that your queries will remain private. If you want the ultimate privacy, you can opt for paid private search via epicsearch.in. If a page you want to load doesn't work correctly with encrypted VPNs, you can disable the encrypted VPN for that site and add it to your safe list. We can't legally or ethically work with them without transparency.Įpic lets you choose eight countries to connect your VPN: US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, India, and Singapore. Despite multiple requests for years, they refuse to explain to us how they work.

It is misleading to claim to be private if you're sharing your users' data with Google/Bing. To our knowledge there are no exceptions to Google/Bing mandates to share a user's IP address and or location both to retrieve search ads and upon search ad click. We've received many requests to support so-called private search engines such as Startpage, DuckDuckGo and others. We believe it is impossible at present to offer honest, free private search. No other sites bypass our adblock or proxy so Epic works almost entirely as it always has except in respect to the Yahoo sites. Due to their policies, a few other Yahoo sites including Techcrunch, Engadget, Autoblog, HuffPo and AOL bypass our adblock. Their goal is to insure the integrity of their search ad marketplace. Upon ad click in Yahoo search, the proxy and adblock remain disabled for several seconds.

According to their requirements, Yahoo search does bypass both our proxy and adblock. All searches sent to Yahoo are encrypted for your privacy and security. When you use the default Yahoo-powered search in Epic, you'll get better search results and support our mission including more frequent releases and hundreds more servers for our encrypted proxy/VPN.
