IronSocket is a VPN service based in Hong Kong. Probably you hear about it some years ago, when it was called HideMyNet. Recently, they re-branded themselves and improved their services considerably. They offer an excellent service, a no usage logs policy, which we really appreciate, good performances, and a very cool thing, servers all around the world (50 Severs in 36 Countries). Let’s check it more.

Pricing and packages
IronSocket offers three packages, for every type of user, and any need. The first package, for one month, costs $6.99, and offers enough features for you to enjoy the internet safe and secure, and to unblock any website. The second package, for 6 months, offers you the possibility to buy IronSocket for $35.95, which gives you a $5.99 price per month. You will get the best deal if you buy the one year package, for $49.95, which gives you a $4.16 price per month. The cool thing about IronSocket is that you can connect three devices at the same time, and you can add even more, for only $1.5 per connection.
Unfortunately, they do not offer a free trial, but you can get your money back in 7 days guarantee.
Website and customer service
The IronSocket website is clean and looks good, but there is nothing special there. However, you will find all the information you need, which is the main idea. You can also check the FAQ section, and if you still need help, you can ask questions the Support team. We liked that they also have a blog section, with well-written articles, updated constantly.
Regarding the customer service, you can send them a ticket any time. They say they are available 24/7, and we noticed they answer in about 10 minutes, which is great! They are very helpful and friendly, and even happy to talk about their service and its benefits.
Privacy and security
Because IronSocket is based in Hong Kong, where the internet laws are less restrictive than in other place in the world, they have great privacy and security terms. Basically, they store the time of your connection, the IP address of the server used by you, and the value of the total bytes transferred.
The service
IronSocket has 50 servers in more than 36 countries all around the world, and offers a great service, with unlimited bandwidth and fast connection. They do not ask for a lot of information to sign up, which we liked a lot, and they accept Bitcoins payments, if you want to stay completely anonymous.
IronSocket uses the Open VPN protocol, and it is available for Windows, OSX, Android, and iOS. We tested the VPN service, and it had a very good performance, and great speed.
Conclusion
IronSocket is a great VPN service, and we totally recommend it to you. Now, like every service, it has some advantages and disadvantages, so let’s see exactly what we are talking about.
