https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Browser

The browser uses cloud acceleration and data compression technology. UC Browser's servers act as a proxy which compresses the data of web pages before sending it to users.


Just recently we have seen alot of accounts using this browser to hide their identity and set up troublesome accounts hence the ban until we figure a way to handle it better.

I never knew this.I use UC brower when i post with my phone since save my credit and it is very fast.Normal posting with general internet is very slow.
I also use my pc to post directly with the internet when am in the cyber or my modem is loaded.The drawback i have is that i do not have the pc always but my phone is with me and this makes me to post anytime or anywhere.

I hope there is a way to track a poster or monitor the locations posts are come from to track malicious accounts.

my tips is use it in your mobile web browser. as UC have USA/india based IP so when you log by UC you'll be connect with another IP. so it may cause account banned. I use in my default browser which IP is unique!

When I use my mobile phone I got the same error message. Just like you OP I also am a mobile person and when I feel like going online I use my phone but I got not intention of masking my IP or something. I do not even know how that works :mrgreen:

Every phone has got an option to use the internet directly usually that world circular app that is in most phone that use have.It open well from there.That is a directly use of the internet.

Since the Mozilla app is out now,i think it might be accepted since Mozilla is the one we use with the pc.
I have decided to use the pc since accessing the internet directly with the phone is expensive.It takes more credit or data bundle.Opera mini and UC browser used to save me money but i have adapted well with the pc. ;)

This UC browser looks interesting to me especially about that part - hiding the identity of the user. It's banned here for that purpose, to block fictitious accounts, okay. Now let me test that UC browser in another site just for fun, waheehee.
