Choose a profile's location

The block sits in the profile window right under the proxy. A new profile comes with "Near the proxy address", and a profile created earlier comes with "This computer's real location".

1. 1

   Open the profile window

   New profile at the top of the left column, or Edit in the row menu.

2. 2

   Pick the mode

   The list in the Location block, right under the proxy.

3. 3

   Decide about the prompt

   The "Share without asking" box under the list, for the first two modes.

4. 4

   Save

   Create for a new profile or Save for an existing one, at the bottom of the window.

A site you allow gets a point a few kilometres from where the address directory puts the proxy exit. Each profile has its own, and it stays the same from one start to the next.

The exit location is measured through the proxy itself at start. A profile without a proxy takes the point near this computer's own internet address, and the line under the block says so.

Type the latitude, the longitude and an accuracy in metres from 1 to 5000. Take from the proxy fills in the point near the exit as a place to start from, and an empty accuracy means the same one the proxy point uses.

If the point is more than 50 km from the checked proxy address, the line under the fields names the distance. The coordinates are kept in the profile and travel with it to the team's machines.

"This computer's real location" behaves like an ordinary browser. On a Mac the system does not give the program a location, so a site gets a refusal after "Allow": the line under the block says so, and in the built-in engine the prompt window says it too.

"Block" refuses any site that asks for the location, including one that was allowed before.

Under the list the program writes what a site will get in the chosen mode, and adds a line when something is in the way.

• Until ARMANOS Browser is updated

  On a Mac a site gets a refusal after "Allow", and on Windows it does when the system blocks apps from the location. There the point goes out with "Share without asking".

• The profile is open

  A new point applies from the next page load, and a switch to the computer's location from the next start.

• The proxy changed on an open profile

  The browser goes through the previous proxy until it restarts, and until then a site gets "location unavailable".

• Coordinates far from the address

  The distance and the exit city are named: a site that compares the two sees the same.

• A typing error

  Latitude is a number from -90 to 90, longitude from -180 to 180, accuracy a whole number from 1 to 5000. A profile with an error is not saved.

The fingerprint card has a Location line, for example "Near Amsterdam, NL, accuracy 40 m". The profile's start page writes the same in its "Location for sites" line.

Test fingerprint compares the location the engine hands out with the profile's point, and the line "Location matches the proxy address" turns red when they differ.
