We've updated our Privacy Policy — read about the upcoming changes here. By continuing to use Kickstarter on or after June 9, 2016, you're agreeing to the new policy.
I received two units that as another post put it - are fancy keyrings. The computer recognizes the device but won't load as it then goes blind and doesn't see the device Please advise
We are awaiting a shipment from our manufacturer. We have had to implement additional quality assurance steps before shipping devices to ensure that they are functional and meet our quality standards. We are scheduled to send all of the remaining devices by the end of the week.
You should have been notified of the delay in international shipping. We have been working out some issues with our manufacturer and had suspended the final shipping which is mostly international. We have been assured that the manufacturing issues have been resolved and we should have additional Webcloak devices in our hands early next week.
Our first priority is security and anonymity. Webcloak will protect you while banking or shopping online. We are focusing our efforts on speeding up the load time of Webcloak and increasing the performance of our secure network while at the same time maintaining the highest level of security and anonymity. We will be posting updates on our user forum.
We want everyone in the world to be able to benefit from Webcloak. Unfortunately there are certain regions like Singapore where there are only a few pledges and no nearby servers. We are eager to get Webcloak into these areas when there is a larger audience.
I have been testing out the webcloak for windows, and I have to say it would have been alright if not for the laboriously slow loading times. I'm not using out of date hardware, but even opening firefox takes minutes let alone opening gmail. Will there be improvements in the future?
I've finally gotten around to trying this out, I'm a Mac person and don't often get on a pc. But I went to start it up and launched the program and it says there isn't a webclock plugged in. It told me to take it out and reinsert it, witch I did and poof same thing. I guess what I got was a fancy keychain.
There was an issue with the first units that were shipped in Windows 10. This has been resolved and we are working on distributing the fix. This problem does not affect the Webcloak devices that are being shipped now. Please contact support and they will assist you.
@Robert, Check "View Pledge" button under the campaign and it will have "Survey" link listed, It should show the current address you sent to then, if it needs to be changed send them a note.
It's been almost a month since the last update ... What is the projected shipping date? Sorry guys, but if it's not fairly soon ... refund. It's been long enough.
I never got my two Webcloak I paid for :(
Please advise when they will be shipped out since no one is bothering updating your product status anymore
Thank you,
Anthony
1) Per the FAQ on the Campaign page...
"We plan on having the finished product thoroughly tested by an independent security specialist." Now since you have a finished product, what are the results of this testing? Who did it? What are the issues they discovered? Where is a formal report for us to examine? This would be great to instill user confidence in Webcloak's security features.
2) Regaurding the story at http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-sad-strange-and-profitable-fake-privacy-gadget-epidemic/ The author is Ms. Violet Blue (tinynibbles.com, @violetblue) is a freelance investigative reporter on hacking and cybercrime at Zero Day/ZDNet, CNET and CBS News, as well as a noted sex columnist. What a combination of specialties.... Anyway, this is her profile where she can be contacted. http://www.zdnet.com/meet-the-team/us/violet-blue/ It would be GREAT publicity for you to send her a Webcloak. ZDNET has a very visible presence on the Web, as I'm sure you are well aware and a positive review from them would be great for your company.
3) Can you post a location to user guides/instructions for us to review and become familiar with Webcloak and how to use it? Will there be an on-line group for discussions, problem reports, etc.?
My prediction. ... "Due to (non specific issue) associated with Beta testing, the release date will be in Oct. Nobody is more anxious to deliver then us! ". That would be consistent with the release date = @now + 6 weeks.
While we are waiting, another reference to webcloak in a forum about VPNs, see the post by "reg" on the 4th of June 2015 at 9:31 AM, partway down the page and the one before by "wiz-oz". He wasn't impressed....
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm…
Has anybody even seen webcloak yet? Has any technical reviews been performed by an independent party? With the deliver in early September, you would think we would be seeing something positive on the Internet.
Seems like every update, it is still ~1.5 months to delivery. That really implies that the @Creator is making no progress between updates. I know if I was one of the 4 backers at the last minute in the campaign that got the $5000 rewards, I'd be very concerned about missing out on the creator dinner...
I never did figure that one out, for $1200 you get 10 WCs, for $5000 you get 1 WC and dinner. Pretty expensive dinner....

He was unfair on the AES criticism but the wording on the project page could be clearer. The AES algorithm itself is public and can be used to encrypt data that has been classified as "Top Secret".
His criticism that delivery dates have been missed and that backers have yet to receive anything is valid. It's really up to you the creator to prove him wrong (I hope you do).
We now know that the Sony hack was an inside job. Many believed at the time that it was the result of a common web based virus of the type that could have been avoided if Sony employees used Webcloak.
Per the latest update, "Because of the development pace that we are trying to maintain, our timing on delivery will be a moving target"
This is really open ended as to delivery date. Is delivery expected to be in a day, week, month, quarter, year, longer?
Use this space to cheer the creator along, ask questions, and talk to your fellow backers. Please remember to be respectful and considerate. Thanks!

This doesn't work with Windows 10. It locks up and produces a white box and freezes

Creator Webcloak, LLC on July 17, 2015
@dHoot
I agree with many of the points in the article but Webcloak should not have been mentioned.
The NSA rates AES 256-bit encryption as “Top Secret” level encryption. It’s a fact, not a lie - https://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/suiteb_cryptography/
We now know that the Sony hack was an inside job. Many believed at the time that it was the result of a common web based virus of the type that could have been avoided if Sony employees used Webcloak.
dHoot on July 16, 2015
Interesting article discussing webcloak
http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-sad-strange-and-profitable-fake-privacy-gadget-epidemic/
It's about time (actually past time) to get some updated delivery dates. Not holding my breath...
Anthony on July 11, 2015
Can you give us a date or an estimate?
dHoot on July 6, 2015
