Epic Privacy Browser is a web browser built for minimizing as much as possible the user’s online footprint, but many reported that the Epic Privacy Browser is not working on Windows 10.
This can be a big problem, but in today’s article, we’ll show you how to fix this once and for all.

What can I do if the Epic Privacy browser VPN is not working?
You should know that, if pages aren’t loading or the proxy is very slow, it could be that the server you’re connected to is either down or overloaded.
If you face a similar situation, you have to try changing your proxy country or try closing and re-opening Epic to connect to a different server.
Furthermore, if you are connected to a certain country, but the website says that you’re not in that country, close then re-open Epic to connect to a different server for that country.
So, now you now have the answers for problems such as the Epic browser not installing, the Epic browser installer not working, or even the Epic privacy browser proxy not working.
That’s it. If you followed the steps closely, your Epic Privacy Browser should now work without any problems on Windows 10.
