User reviews

Overall great!

Daniel “DC” Calverley, 2021-03-07

Claims to block trackers, but doesn't (according to Panopticlick). So it's nothing more than an ad-blocker, of which there are plenty.

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!
