Anonabox seemed like a perfect product: Anonymous browsing, low entry price, and most of all, easy to use. And with October being National Cybersecurity Awareness month, it seemed the timing was also perfect. Indeed, the project far exceeded its funding goal, but has been shut down early amid controversy.

The cracks started to appear mere days into the project, and after the huge deluge of pledges from backers. Reddit users started to snoop after several of them realized some inconsistencies in the marketing material from the Kickstarter campaign.
