Epic Privacy Browser Forums

Getting lots of connectivity errors:  No internet,  proxy, website not found,
So I checked the extension Epic Encrypted Proxy, Version 8.6.0,  Size 3.0mb

and I see

"Source - Not from Epic Privacy Browser Web Store"

I was going to:
remove the extension,
uninstall Epic Browser
re-boot,
install Epic Browser fresh.

Are these the correct steps to take?

I'm pretty sure original download was from Epic website, not the Web Store, any chance that could cause this message?

? Might it be helpful to send what is on  my laptop to someone to look at to figure out a fix?

I am not technical so my trying to send something would need lots of detailed bombproof instructions. ..
(and maybe even asking about sending something to troubleshoot is a silly question . . . )

Thanks in advance for guidance .  . .
