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. But best of all, Opera's service is free and unlimited. Beyond that, it has other nifty features, including a built-in ad blocker and a tracker blocker. You also don't need to create an account to use the VPN, thus improving your privacy. It allows you to assign additional VPN bypass rules, so you don't have to turn it off when you want to access trusted pages that won't work with the VPN turned on. You can even instruct Opera to bypass the VPN when using default search engines or accessing intranet sites. You can turn on the VPN by default for instant secure browsing.
If it's turned off, you'll see VPN outlined by a box, but if it's switched on, you should see a blue box with VPN written on it. Once you've activated it, you'll see the VPN icon on the address bar. It first received the built-in VPN feature in 2016, included in Opera 38.Īlthough the VPN is turned off by default, you can easily activate it via the Quick Settings Menu. This browser is the oldest option in this list, established in 1994 and made publicly available in 1996.
