Our Dedicated IP has just expanded to include new locations around the globe. This is the perfect opportunity to dive into what Dedicated IP is, where you can now access it, and why it might be your new best friend. So, get comfy, and let’s get into the details together.
What is a Dedicated IP?
It’s an IP (Internet Protocol) address that’s protected by a VPN (Virtual Private Network) but is only yours to use.
Let’s agree: most things on the internet are shared or borrowed. Social media sites, music platforms, and even the VPN servers you share with many strangers online. So, if you want something personal without missing the VPN security, you could opt for your very own IP address.
When you own your Dedicated IP, it’s like having a permanent internet home address — no more sharing, no more switching between IPs.
Why should you use Dedicated IP?
You might be wondering, why do I need my own permanent internet home address? Well, here are a few reasons why Dedicated IP could be a game-changer for you:
- With Dedicated IP, you reduce the risk of being affected by the others’ actions and getting caught in IP blocklists.
- If you send a lot of emails, Dedicated IP ensures that your messages are less likely to end up in the spam folder.
- Some networks and services, like banking, require a consistent IP address for access. Dedicated IP is your way of getting VPN protection and a static IP address.
- When many people share the same VPN server, websites might identify their requests as robotic & you can get more CAPTCHAs. Our fixed IP solves that.

How to select the best location?
Selecting the best Dedicated IP location depends on your specific needs and goals. If you’re accessing local content, choose a Dedicated IP location in your region. For business needs, select a location near your customer base for better speed and reliability. If you need a specific country’s IP, get a Dedicated IP in that country.
Remember that server proximity improves performance, so opt for a geographically closer server. You can always test out the locations first by connecting to the regular VPN servers in the area where you wish to get a Dedicated IP.
