What “lightweight” should mean

Clear status, on-demand and real-time options, and no mandatory vendor account. IronShield is built as a personal antivirus toolkit, not a browser of upsells.

VPN is optional and yours

IronShield includes a VPN slot you configure yourself (Tailscale or free WireGuard). Nothing ships preconfigured to someone else’s network.
