What Is a Dedicated IP and When Do You Need One?
On this page 4
Most VPNs have hundreds or thousands of users sharing a single IP address at the same time. That is not a problem for ordinary browsing, but in some situations it turns into a hassle. This is where a dedicated IP comes in.
Shared IP versus dedicated IP
| Feature | Shared IP | Dedicated IP |
|---|---|---|
| Number of users on the IP | Many | Only you |
| Impact of other users' behavior | The IP may be limited because of other users | The IP's behavior concerns only you |
| Address stability | Changes more often | More stable |
| Best suited to | Everyday browsing | Professional work, sensitive accounts, stable access |
When is a dedicated IP the smart choice?
- Managing important online accounts: when the address stays fixed, the security systems of websites are less likely to be suspicious of your sign-in.
- Working with business panels and tools that are sensitive to a fixed address
- Remote access to a server or a work system, where only one specific address should be allowed
- Fewer repeated CAPTCHAs and unwanted blocks, which often come from heavily used shared IPs
