IRONKEY ENTERPRISE USER GUIDE
Toggle Secure Sessions for secure
and private surfing
If enabled, clicking the IronKey button on the bottom
right of 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 decrypt-
ed 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
.
3 Using the Secure Sessions Tools:
Network Map, Bandwidth Meter,
and Changing Identities
At any point while using Secure Sessions, you can
launch additional tools form the IronKey System Tray
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.
