PSA request to test new free beta DIFFERENT web browser
(supposedly with a new system-wide unlimited free VPN)
Given this is claimed to be a brand new system-VPN concept for free browsers
on Windows, may I ask others to test it & let us know their observations?
I saw a recent thread in an app newsgroup about a new Windows-only beta:

What's _different_ (and suspicious?) about that new beta is that the thread
claimed it uses an entirely _different_ concept from what Epic & Opera use.
None of the "parts" are new in the least; but the assemblage is brand new.
Instead of a "proxy", it actually changes your system-wide IP address.
For free.
It's even said to be unlimited (but I found some restrictions thereof).
But it _did_ change my system-wide IP address (if I wasn't already on VPN):
C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe
icanhazip.com ===> 46.229.172.165
(Press F3 to repeat as needed during tests of the system-wide IP address.)
Does the browser change your system-wide IP address for you also?
I tested and it does seem to do strange things to my system IP address.
Especially when I'm already on a system VPN and even more especially when I
close the browser VPN session when I'm already on a system wide VPN.
Given this is a brand new system-VPN concept for free browsers on Windows,
may I ask others like me, if they test this, what their observations are?

In summary, this is perhaps a first ever on Windows (not the separate
products, but the combined product) which I would like to ask others to test
to confirm what I've seen in my tests that I ran myself just now.

BTW, just don't go there with the CIA running all free VPN services. Don't.
Don't waste our time. Just keep with the technical topic of _how_ it works.
