Installing locwinn, step by step

This page walks through every single click, in order, with pictures. It takes about five minutes. You can't break anything by going slowly — and if you get stuck at any point, email support@locwinn.com and a human will help you personally.

Before you start, you need two things:

Step 1 — Download the installer

Click here to download the installer. Your browser will save a file called locwinn-installer.exe. Most browsers show the download at the top right of the window, or in a bar along the bottom.

If Edge says the file "isn't commonly downloaded", that's only because the file is new. Click the … next to the download, then Keep, then Show more and Keep anyway.

Step 2 — Open the file you downloaded

Click on the downloaded file to open it. If you can't find it: open the Downloads folder — press the yellow folder icon in your taskbar, then look for "Downloads" in the left-hand list. The file is called locwinn-installer. Double-click it.

Step 3 — If Windows shows a blue warning, that's OK

Windows may show a blue screen saying "Windows protected your PC". This is Windows being cautious about new files that few people have downloaded yet — it is not saying anything is wrong with the file. To continue:

  1. Click the small "More info" link in the text.
  2. Check that it says Publisher: Bamahut LLC (our company).
  3. Click the "Run anyway" button that appears.

Step 4 — Say yes to the permission question

Windows will then ask, in a darkened screen: "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" It should show Verified publisher: Bamahut LLC. Click Yes. locwinn needs this permission to set up the blocking. (If it says "Unknown publisher" instead, click No and download the installer again from the download page.)

Step 5 — The welcome screen

The locwinn installer's welcome screen, with a Begin button at the bottom right

The locwinn setup window opens and looks like the picture above. Click the green Begin button at the bottom right.

Step 6 — The agreement

The agreement step: a short list of what locwinn will change, the Terms and Privacy Policy links, and the agreement box ticked

The installer shows you plainly what it will change on your computer. Read it, tick the agreement box, and click Continue.

Step 7 — Your dashboard

The dashboard step: a picture of the locwinn account page and its address, locwinn.com/account

Next, the installer shows you your dashboard — the one place for your devices, your key and your plan, at locwinn.com/account. You sign in there with the email you bought with. There's nothing to do on this screen; just click Continue.

Step 8 — Enter your license key

The license step with the key typed into the box

Now the installer asks for your license key — the code from your purchase email. The easiest way:

  1. Open your email and find the message from locwinn.com.
  2. Select the whole key with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
  3. Click inside the key box in the installer, then press Ctrl + V to paste.

Typing it by hand? The key never contains the letter I, the letter O, the number 0, or the number 1 — so anything that looks like one of those is something else. If the installer says the key isn't valid, check those characters first.

Click Continue. The installer checks your key over the internet, so your connection needs to be working. After that, locwinn checks your subscription from time to time and works offline in between.

Step 9 — Choose how hard it is to turn off

The removal step: Lite or Nuclear, with Nuclear chosen and a wait of 4320 minutes typed in

This is the one real decision. locwinn is deliberately hard to switch off in a weak moment, and here you choose how hard:

If you pick Nuclear, type how many minutes removal should take (4,320 minutes is three days), read the warning, and tick the box confirming you understand removal will take the full wait.

You can read exactly how removal works on the uninstalling page — you are never trapped. Then click Continue.

Step 10 — The install location

The location step: the suggested folder, C:\Program Files\locwinn, and an Install button

The installer suggests where to put the program — the suggested folder is fine. Click Install.

Step 11 — Installing

The install progress screen with the bar part-way along

A progress bar runs for under a minute. There's nothing you need to do.

Step 12 — Done

The Done screen: 'It's done. Breathe.' with a Finish button

When the "Done" screen appears, click Finish. That's it — the block is on and there is nothing to open, configure, or remember. Adult sites simply stop loading in your browsers.
