GBWinston privacy is simply brilliant Winston is simply brilliant. Sure, there’s lots of manual ways to go about securing your privacy online, but those are time consuming and tedious. Winston is a plug and play, set it and forget it, type of setup that works really well. It’s about time us normals had a tool to combats the privacy invading behemoths like Facebook and Google.

GBPromising 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"

GBSecures my internet. I rent my internet with 3 other people and 15+ devices. 2 tenants say that their YouTube streaming is better now. 2 users say that their COD gaming runs so much smoother than before. My downloads, search and streaming is smoother than before. Since I don’t monitor their surfing, it allows the whole network privacy and security. Glad I bought the Winston.

GBWinston 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!

GBI've tried VPN's that really just… I've tried VPN's that really just slowed your internet connection while supposedly protecting your identity. After researching Winston, I took the plunge into a realistic enhancement to surfing the WWW while being protected. Easy to setup and easy to use while maintaining the speed you pay for from your ISP . I'll never go back to using VPN's. Winston is the BEST!!!
