IronSocket is a Hong Kong-based provider of security and privacy applications. It provides VPN, proxy, and DNS services to its users to help them protect their online activity, access restricted content, and bypass censorship. IronSocket's VPN service encrypts all of the user's internet traffic, masks their IP address, and assigns them a new IP address from one of its global servers, allowing them to access the internet securely and anonymously. The proxy service also helps users bypass censorship, geo-blocking, and other online restrictions. IronSocket's DNS service, meanwhile, helps users maintain their privacy by preventing their ISP from seeing what websites they are visiting. With IronSocket, users can securely access the internet and keep their data safe from prying eyes.
