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.

It's worth getting the Winston! After a bumpy start (the Winston device wouldn't connect to the internet and after several different suggestions from their website, still wouldn't connect) and a couple of responses from the support department, we were able to connect and figure out the problem. I don't know who I talked to but he was friendly, patient and most important, knowledgeable about the product. He suggested a setup not mentioned on their troubleshooting web page that worked. I have had it running since Monday May 3, 2021 and have been very surprised at how much crap is tracking me and my family: over 17,000 threats blocked and almost a gig of data saved. There's a LOT less ads too. That's in three days! I don't use any VPNs just because you're not able to protect anymore than the computer it's installed on. Winston solves that problem. I installed the app on my phone that protects it as well, which it does. The only thing that I thought it was supposed to do is disconnect when I'm using my home wifi network and reconnect when I'm outside of it. It stays connected when I'm using my wifi network. It seems to work so that all that really matters. I just hope that the Winston device lasts for years.

Simple yet brilliant. Take that big tech. I'm not overly tech savvy, but do appreciate the importance of privacy especially after watching The Social Dilemma. Winston was super easy to set up, and the dashboard reinforces the value of the service to see just how many websites are attempting to track our usage. The data saved metric and faster connectivity are reassuring features. It's funny when I now get prompts that my network is blocking ads and a popup from Admiral software shows up to complain about it.

Winston does exactly what it says Winston does exactly what it says it does—filters out trackers and protects your privacy. Using the dashboard, I’ve been able to track my network usage in real-time and monitor what is causing high traffic, all while seeing the results of the tracking filters. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who is concerned about their online privacy, but doesn’t have the technical knowledge to tweak their routers etc. to achieve the same results.

Winston 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.
