What is a dedicated IP?

A dedicated IP (Internet Protocol) is a unique IP address only you can use. Every time you connect to your designated VPN server, you get the same IP address. Just like that, you get the protection of a VPN connection & a fixed IP address.

Benefits of our Dedicated IP

Works with all connection protocols

You don't have to choose between website speed and a fixed IP. Our Dedicated IP works with all our protocols, even WireGuard®, for maximum speed.

Protects all your connected devices

All your devices can share the same IP address & have VPN protection with Surfshark's Dedicated IP. We don't limit the number of connected devices.

Secures manual connections

You can download Surfshark Dedicated IP configuration files for manual connections, including your router or other internet-of-things devices. We'll take care of the speeds.

Stops others from abusing your IP

You can't guarantee others' actions using a shared VPN server. With Dedicated IP, you won't have to worry about that or others getting an IP blocked on some services.

Provides privacy as you want it

Your Dedicated IP is tied to your email, which means it’s a bit less private than a shared IP. Select the anonymous option after installation if you want to remove the link between your Dedicated IP and email. And just like that, even we won’t know which IP is yours.

Eases accessing remote networks

Accessing networks remotely with a shared VPN server is tricky since you never know what address you'll get whenever you connect. That's not an issue with a dedicated static IP.

Helps to avoid annoying captchas

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.

Improves access to IP-sensitive websites

Some websites are sensitive to IP changes & won't work if you're using a VPN. Dedicated IP resolves that since your IP stays private & always the same.

Dedicated IP vs. shared IP

The main difference between dedicated and shared IPs lies in the number of people that use them. A fixed IP is assigned & used by only one user, while an unlimited number of people can use a shared IP.

A shared IP address gives you a random IP every time you connect, while a dedicated one will give you the same IP. Both types of IPs are equally secure. However, dedicated IP goes a step further:

Reduces CAPTCHAs

By using an IP that’s just for you, you won’t be flagged as suspicious or made to do annoying checks.

Avoids IP blocklists

Avoid the “bad neighbor effect”, where activity by other users on the same IP can get you blocked.

Eases transactions

A Dedicated IP address is like your very own VPN connection that no one else can use.

Frequently asked questions

That depends. Like any other VPN server, Dedicated IP encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP address and location. However, since it’s connected to your email address, it can be easier to track your online behavior back to you.

With a shared IP address (a standard VPN), your online footprints are hidden among the online activities of everyone else using the same IP.

Only you know what's best for you. We're glad to say that Surfshark has one.

Our Dedicated IP offers only the top-grade encryption & works on all your devices. It even works on routers or TVs so you can protect the whole household or your smart home system. Surfshark’s Dedicated IP supports all connection protocols, including WireGuard®, so you don’t have to choose between speed & protection.

Dedicated IP gives you a static personal IP address while keeping the security benefits of a VPN.

You can use a dedicated IP if: you're a remote worker that wants to keep the VPN protection; you're frequently accessing things remotely; you're tired of the annoying CAPTCHA requests; you need a private IP address & VPN protection at the same time.

Dedicated, static, or fixed IPs are synonyms that describe an IP address that belongs only to you. This IP will stay the same no matter how often you connect or disconnect from it.

That depends on the things you do with a VPN. If you're not bothered with CAPTHAs, you don't use your online banking with a VPN & you don't have to access things remotely, then you probably don't need a dedicated IP & regular VPN servers will do the trick for you.

However, if you are doing at least some of the things mentioned above or are tired of a shared VPN IP address getting blocklisted by the services you use, you need a dedicated IP.
