Toggle Secure Sessions for secure

Clicking the IronKey button on the bottom right of

 

and private surfing

the onboard Firefox will silently turn IronKey’s Secure

 

 

 

 

Sessions Service on/off. This will create an encrypted

 

 

 

 

tunnel directly from your IronKey, out to a secured

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IronKey web server, where it is then decrypted and

 

 

 

 

sent out to the destination site.

 

 

 

 

This security gives you anti-phishing and anti-pharm-

 

 

 

 

ing protection (for example, we do our own DNS

 

 

 

 

checking), as well as enhanced privacy protection (for

 

 

 

 

example your IP address will not be available to other

 

 

 

 

websites and ISPs). You can check this out by going to

 

 

 

 

a site such as whatismyip.com or ipchicken.com.

Using the Secure Sessions Tools:

At any point while using Secure Sessions, you can

 

Network Map, Bandwidth Meter,

launch additional tools form the IronKey System Tray

 

and Changing Identities

Menu that show you more information regarding your

 

 

 

 

web traffic and current session.

 

 

 

 

The Network Map will show all of your available

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“circuits” and where in the world your traffic will be

 

 

 

 

coming from.

 

 

 

 

The Bandwidth Meter will show you your current

 

 

 

 

bandwidth metrics.

 

 

 

 

You can easily change your apparent online “identity”,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

which creates a new random circuit and changes the

 

 

 

 

path of your encrypted web traffic. As you will be

 

 

 

 

coming from a different IP address, it will likely appear

 

 

 

 

to websites that you are a different person.
