Epic Browser (proxy) is not working on Sierra

I was using Epic browser (a browser works as a proxy or vpn) smoothly for last few days in china to access into google and Facebook and some pages until i have updated my previous mac os to new mac os sierra. and sorry to say that after then it is no more working especially proxy facilities. I can't explain how much i need it while in china. Can `anyone tell me the reason or how to fix it? It just shows me like this after installing OS Sierra...

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12), null

Hello md firdaus,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I understand from your post that you are no longer able to access the web while using an Epic browser that works as a proxy or VPN. With the macOS Sierra update, PPTP VPN's have been removed. If this browser uses this type of VPN, then you will want to use one of the alternatives listed in the below article:

Prepare for removal of PPTP VPN before you upgrade to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra

Alternatives to PPTP connections for VPN

Try one of these other VPN protocols for user-based authentication that are more secure:

L2TP/IPSec

IKEv2/IPSec

Cisco IPSec

SSL VPN clients on the App Store such as those from AirWatch, Aruba, Check Point, Cisco, F5 Networks, MobileIron, NetMotion, Open VPN, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure, and SonicWall

Best Regards.

You will need to contact the developer of the browser. It's their responsibility to fix VPN.

Thank you very much Mr. Jeremy_v. Im glad that you showed me the reason. But the thing is I do understand what you said is the reason behind not working. But I actually need solution to work that browser again like before and for that what to do, I don't know or understand that. Can you please suggest me what to do or how to solve or how to reuse that browser?
