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!

WinstonPrivacy is my favorite data privacy tool. I previously used a VPN service until discovering that VPN's don't block trackers and still leak data to web sites and web services. Stripping out the web beacons, location data and details from aggregators is my favorite feature. It's stunning to see the number of trackers blocked through the Winston dashboard. Since starting to use Winston, I've had several issues with IOT devices and got them all resolved very quickly through support tickets. Very helpful support team.

Secures 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.

Outstanding! I'm a verified Winston Privacy user for almost a year now. Superb device. The privacy levels of the device are outstanding. For those that don't know your "Smart devices" are transmitting a lot of data to third party users that Winston blocks. With its AI technology you are guaranteed a safe online experience. Updated nearly weekly along with the modules and filters. When the device is enabled you are actually more anonymous then your standard subbed VPN. Impressive technology the Winston crew has developed. Remember the data is saved for 7 days on your device only, then wiped permanently. The only downside, there is no plans to support Torrents to date. You will need to sub to a VPN to torrent.

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"
