This review focuses on the email & phone forwarding features of Ironvest, which they call masked mails and masked phone, respectively. Masked phone allows you to create a phone number to provide on websites, etc., which forwards phone calls and texts to your real number, so you don't have to risk it being sold or leaked. If you start getting spam from a caller, you simply block them. It used to work, though it was a bit clunky because you can't reply directly to text messages. Then it didn't work for me at all for a while, but after contacting Ironvest, it's working again.Masked emails used to work better. You can create individual forwarding email addresses for each website or business you deal with so that if you start getting spam at that address, you know where it originated from. You can easily turn these addresses on or off or simply delete them. However, about 4 months ago, I noticed that there was a significant delay in some emails being forwarded, and some never got forwarded at all. I estimate that the delay ranges from 7 to 17 hours, with an average of about 12 hours. In addition, the Ironvest server is marking some emails as spam, which it should not do unless I marked a sender as spam. It does not forward emails that are marked as spam. I no longer feel I can rely on this feature, since I have to manually check the Ironvest email inbox instead of counting on them being forwarded to my real email address.I haven't used the other features much. The masked credit card feature worked ok, but it ties up whatever amount of money you put on a virtual credit card.There's a tracker blocking feature, but it currently only works on Chrome or Firefox. I found that it tended to break website functionality, so I turned it off, and now I use the Brave browser, which has the function built in.I contacted Ironvest customer support about the email forwarding problems, but they didn't know what was causing the problem. In the last 4 months, the problem has only gotten worse.Ironvest offers a lot in the way of privacy protection, but their features are useless if they don't work as claimed.
