IronSuite Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Our design philosophies behind the IronSuite tools

Ironfox is but one of the tools we have developed sandbox policies for. We have developed profiles for Adium, Thunderbird, Tweetdeck, Ventrilo, etc. To better describe how we have approached this, and what is going on behind the scenes, we have written a IronSuite Design philosophy document that we urge you as a user to read.
