Your personal IP, your control. Easily switch to a dedicated IP address in the NordVPN app.
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.
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.
A downside of a shared IP is a “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.
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.
Having a dedicated IP address can make your online experience smoother. A dedicated IP is an internet address assigned exclusively to your account by a service like a VPN provider or a hosting site. That means that you will be the only one with that particular IP address, but your actual IP will still stay hidden.
A dedicated IP is less likely to be blacklisted from certain websites; it enables you to avoid CAPTCHAs and makes online payments easy.
Whether or not you need a dedicated IP depends on your specific requirements when surfing the net — neither one is better or worse.
