What is FlashStart?

Finding data to illustrate the indifference some have towards malware can be quite challenging. While individuals might not know the specifics, there is a general consensus on the significant danger it poses. FlashStart effectively mitigates risks from botnets, ransomware, malware, and various other threats through premium, global protection channels. Users can also implement content filtering to restrict access to any web material deemed inappropriate. Such sites can pose risks that are either dangerous, distracting, or unwholesome. The Pro+ version comes with a secure app that can be downloaded easily. Centralized FlashStart protection safeguards all devices whether at home, in a cafe, or elsewhere, without requiring a router. The system is designed to tailor the filter to suit personal preferences. Rather than being a bulky appliance, it operates as a lightweight application compatible with existing end-user IT systems. This setup ensures a swift performance with latency under 5ms, enhancing user experience. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a seamless and secure browsing experience for everyone.

    K12 School

    Date: Jul 18 2023
    Summary

    Since we implemented FlashStart we could relax knowing that our children are protected against threats, malicious software and inappropriate contents, specially considering we are a K12 School.

    Positive

    It's easy to configure, works fine and efficiently. This product covers almost every content that we wanted to block.
    Since we've installed FlashStart, our students had never seen bad web content again.

    Negative

    Honestly there's nothing to me to be considered as a con.

    Easy to deploy

    Date: Jul 14 2023
    Summary

    I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good filter to keep people off websites that you may not even be aware of yet. It works.

    Positive

    This was a very easy setup. Just added to my router and it started working right away. Had a couple websites that it was blocking that we used and adding them to the allow list was quick and simple. Glad I found the website. Much simpler than trying to setup my own filter.

    Negative

    Figuring out what package I needed to purchase. It's sold based of the number of devices connected and it took me awhile to figure that out as a school we get a lot of extra devices connected to our network at different times. It would be nice if the filter would of kept a tally of how many devices hit it during my trial.

    Network-level security deployment in minutes.

    Date: Jun 17 2023
    Summary

    To all IT admins, this is worth checking out. We were looking for a solution for DNS filtering and after numerous disappointments with the more traditional players on the market we found FlashStart and we are satisfied.

    Positive

    Tool well-built and simple to use. Possibility of implementation at network level or directly at endpoints. Anycast network with excellent performance in all major locations. Fast and efficient support. Current technology integrated with artificial intelligence where we can really guarantee security. Collection method and attractive prices.

    Negative

    So far everything is perfect, as expected. In occasional problems related to small details such as uncategorized local domains, we called support and were quickly attended to.
