Pledge $90 and receive the filter device plus 1 year of premium VPN subscription. The device to provide VPN protection, malicious ad blocking, and Tor network anonymity. It will work at the router level so you don’t have to install software on every device you use. (This will be particularly great for devices that don’t support these applications like gaming consoles, smart TVs, and media players.) All you have to do is connect to Filter via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
If you REEEEEEEALLY want a deal, pledge $240 to the campaign and get the device PLUS a vpn for a LIFETIME. Only 41 of those remain (out of 100) at the time of this writing.

12) Tap into the Knowledge at CrossWired
I love it that CrossWired is based in Singapore. For some reason, Singapore just BEAMS with I.T., in my reckoning anyway. And sure enough, CrossWired has its roots in I.T. But only its ROOTS. The REST of CrossWired sprouts into every topic imaginable — because Crosswired is a cool online learning community that shares on topics such as world religions, spiritual formation, making churches healthy, cross-cultural discipleship, team building, and much more.
