Get your dedicated IP
Enjoy risk-free online reputation and smooth access to IP-restricted networks with a dedicated IP address.
What is a dedicated IP?
In a traditional sense, a dedicated IP is a static IP address assigned to a single website hosting account, which means no one else can use it. This allows website owners to access their sites with an IP instead of using a domain name.
But there’s also a dedicated IP that you can get on top of your VPN subscription. Normally, when you connect to a VPN server, your IP address changes, but you share it with other users. However, you can buy a dedicated IP address, which will exclusively belong to you.
Benefits of a dedicated IP
Secure access to business servers
To prevent unwarranted access to sensitive systems, administrators may specify a list of authorized IP addresses. This way, you can log in to a system only if your IP matches one on the whitelist. A dedicated IP address is an ideal solution for accessing corporate remote access systems or private servers securely.
Secure online payments
If you use VPN for secure online banking, each time you may appear to virtually be in a different location. Banks may treat it as a suspicious activity and lock you out of your account. Solution? Using VPN with a static dedicated IP lets you avoid repetitive verification while keeping your security in place.
Skip the blacklists
A downside of using a shared IP is the “bad neighbor effect”: you never know what other users with the same IP address are up to. That’s why shared IPs can turn up in blacklists, limiting your access to certain websites. Even though a dedicated IP address is not as discreet, there is a much lower possibility for it to be blacklisted.
Forget the CAPTCHAs
Multiple people using the same shared IP address often trigger CAPTCHA authentication. It becomes too annoying to constantly prove that you’re not a robot. By using a dedicated IP address, you will be able to log in to your email and other online accounts without unnecessary interruptions.
Do I need a dedicated IP?
Access services without interruptions
A shared IP can cause headaches, as some online services might block it, and you will be left out. With a dedicated IP, you can take control into your own hands. Forget about inconveniences caused by a shared IP and access your favorite services with no interruptions.
Protected IoT devices
Using a shared IP to access your smart home system, CCTV cameras, video doorbell, and other devices is a cybersecurity nightmare. Hackers can get a glimpse of your private life and steal your sensitive data in a snap. A dedicated IP guarantees that only you can access your IoT devices and secure your premises.
Use whenever you want
Adding a dedicated IP to your VPN service gives you freedom — you can switch between shared and dedicated IP depending on what you’re doing online.
Dedicated IP vs. shared IP
The main difference between a dedicated IP and a shared IP is who can use it. A dedicated IP is an internet protocol address assigned exclusively to your account by a service like a VPN or a hosting provider. A shared IP address is an internet protocol address assigned by a service to many users.
There are some other differences between a dedicated IP and a shared IP. A dedicated IP is less likely to be blacklisted from certain websites; it enables you to avoid CAPTCHAs and makes online payments easy. With a shared IP address, your online footprints are hidden among the online activity of everyone else using the same IP. Since a dedicated IP is tied to your email address, it’s easier to identify users.
You can use a dedicated IP and stay secure with a VPN, as your real IP stays hidden from third parties, no matter whether it’s dedicated or shared. This way you can stay in a full control of your online reputation, while also maintaining your online security.
