IronShield

Review-first antivirus with a VPN slot you configure.

IronShield Overview showing Protected status and All clear

Built for people who want control

IronShield watches your PC with local ClamAV scanning and optional cloud checks. Threats are logged for review. Nothing is quarantined unless you say so (or you turn auto-quarantine on).

  • Review-first protection

    Local ClamAV scans plus optional cloud second opinions. Detections stay in your log until you act.

  • VPN you control

    Nothing preconfigured. Bring your Tailscale exit node or import a free WireGuard config.

  • Tray that tells the truth

    Green when your VPN tunnel is up, orange when it is not, always visible in the tray.

VPN setup paths

  • Self-host Tailscale

    Run an exit node on your home PC, NAS, or VPS. IronShield asks for the machine name. Nothing is pre-filled.

  • Free WireGuard VPNs

    Import a .conf from Proton VPN Free, PrivadoVPN, Windscribe, or any provider that gives you a standard WireGuard file. Step-by-step guide ships with the app.
