What is a dedicated IP address?

Dedicated IP, also known as a static IP, is a unique IP address that is reserved exclusively for your business. This enables your teams to connect online using the same IP address while staying fully protected by a VPN. An enterprise VPN with dedicated IPs is an ideal solution for remote work, ensuring secure and consistent access to IP-restricted services from anywhere.

Why businesses need a VPN with a dedicated IP

Secure remote access to company resources

Dedicated IPs enable secure gateways, ensuring that only your team can access company resources from anywhere — particularly useful for distributed teams. Anyone without dedicated IP access will be locked out, even if they somehow get login details.

Reliable email delivery

A marketer’s nightmare? Promotional emails getting filtered into spam folders. A dedicated IP builds positive sender reputation, ensuring marketing emails and critical business communications don’t get filtered into spam because of IP blocklisting.

Fewer CAPTCHAs and security checks

Shared IPs often face constant verification challenges because they can be flagged as suspicious. Dedicated IPs reduce this hurdle, allowing your team to save time and focus on their task at hand — not on identifying photos of buses.

Consistent access to IP-sensitive services

Business platforms may monitor IP addresses for suspicious activity. When your team uses a regular shared VPN IP address, they may be flagged and blocked. A dedicated IP ensures your team maintains uninterrupted access to these services without compromising on VPN security.

Own your IP reputation

Using a shared IP means you can’t control who uses it and what they do on it. A single bad actor on a shared IP address can cause the IP to be blacklisted, locking you out of critical business platforms. With a dedicated IP, only authorized users affect the reputation of the IP address.

Dedicated IP vs. Shared IP

Still unsure if a dedicated IP is essential or if a regular, shared VPN server is good enough? Here’s a comparison table to help you understand their key differences.

Dedicated IP vs. Shared IP
	Dedicated IP	Shared IP
IP exclusivity	Yes	No
	Your team only	Shared with other VPN users
IP address	Yes	No
	Same IP always	Changes every connection
Service compatibility	Yes	No
	Trusted by platforms	May be flagged as suspicious
