I am impressed with Winstonprivacy software and hardware… I found the Winston device and software to be powerful and easy to work with. It does an excellent job of screening tracking software and reducing adds. It also allows you to move about the internet without being stalked by big tech. I have recommended they add a technical overview video and a main link to their videos to improve the customer experience.

Best device in our home Having been a bit skeptical that Winston could do all they advertised it would do when we got it, this device is hands-down the best device we have added to our home! Seeing all the crap that it blocks and filters is crazy! With multiple computers, TVs, and smart devices in our home, not to mention the online gaming that is my daily stress relief, we feel much safer with Winston watching out for us!

Winston what you need to to protect… Winston what you need to to protect your privacy and limit tracking when you surf the Internet. It acts as a proxy to protect you from bad websites, hides your IP address like a VPN and hides your DNS queries that can be used to monitor your Internet browsing. This is all done without you having to be a computer guru. Get one, you can protect the entire family, or just yourself!

Promising start: sadly, now a waste of time & money! I was a fairly early adopter of Winston, waited patiently for a much delayed UK delivery and got it all working once it had finally arrived. Sadly it looks as though the company has gone bust and the product won't be supported after July 2021. This is the final section of an email received from them today: "Unfortunately, we were unable to generate sufficient demand with consumers to support a hardware business and have no choice but to discontinue the Winston Privacy service. This was a difficult decision to make as many of invested years of our lives in this mission. We did - and still do - feel passionately that everyone should have the ability to make meaningful choices about their family's privacy. A final firmware update (1.5.14) will be pushed in late June/July which will enable devices to run without requiring a subscription. Please note that devices must be connected to the internet during this time period to receive this update. Units which have been updated should continue to operate normally through the end of the year though support will no longer be offered. Devices may continue to operate beyond the end of 2021, however the security certificate for the domain api.winstonprivacy.com will eventually expire and will need to be manually whitelisted in your browser. We encourage you to support businesses that put their users' privacy first. A few of the companies we recommend include: * DuckDuckGo * ProtonMail * Signal * Brave Thank you for your support throughout the years. The Winston Privacy Team"
