Daniel “DC” Calverley (ID: 0000003194928417) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/07/2021 Overall great!

Jonathan Penn (ID: 0000008a557b44bb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/09/2020 Claims to block trackers, but doesn't (according to Panopticlick). So it's nothing more than an ad-blocker, of which there are plenty.

Kyle Fedorek (ID: 000000e8dd964be1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2020 Amazing hardware for superb filtering and control of blocking tracking and pesky ads. The privacy mesh P2P encrypted network is awesome as well acting as a VPN. Keep it up Winston!

A B (ID: 0000001047f53f79) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/14/2019 A simple plug and play solution with powerful privacy protections in place. Definitely a product whose time has come....
