Google Search Thinks Epic Is A Robot

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

Did they ask you to answer a captcha?  A bit irritating we know. 

That happens because Epic automatically routes your request via https/encrypted connection AND over the proxy.  This protects your search from being tracked (assuming you're not logged into Google). 

Google gets a lot of bot requests, so particularly because you're routed over a proxy they want to confirm you're not a bot.

Unfortunately we don't know a way around this that still preserves your privacy.

Yes on captcha

I will just use other search like http://ddg.gg

Thank you for the fast reply.

Yes, ddg works and no captchas from what we've experienced.     

You can also use the built-in epicsearch.in.

Google Search working today without Captcha,  alok  did you trying something different, because it is working good.

Hi Stephanie, usually the captcha comes when you have Epic's encrypted proxy on.  You could certainly try logging into Gmail, then Google should recognize you as a real person.  You can also try accessing Google with the proxy off. 

Sorry about that -- we really feel they purposefully make the Captcha slow and endless...
