According to Justas Pukys, Senior Product Manager at Surfshark, demand for Dedicated IP addresses is rapidly increasing across major cities worldwide. Surfshark has added these new locations to meet demand and bring the feature to key global regions.

Surfshark added that more locations are on the way as it continues to expand Dedicated IP.

Benefits of Dedicated IP

Typically, when you connect to a VPN server you'll get a new IP address each time. Providers have a bank of addresses and multiple users have access to them.

In some cases, these IP addresses can be targeted by internet service providers (ISPs). You may encounter numerous CAPTCHA requests or find the site you want to visit is blocked.

Dedicated IP changes this. You're assigned your own IP, unique to you. Your traffic appears more consistent and CAPTCHAs should reduce.

Sharing an IP address with others means it has the potential to be abused. Your Dedicated IP is used only by you and you don't have to worry about the actions of other VPN users.

Dedicated IP supports all major protocols, meaning you get the speeds Surfshark is famous for – it's the fastest VPN we've tested – without compromising your VPN protection and data privacy.

Surfshark's Dedicated IP is available on iOS, Mac, Windows, and Android. Surfshark provides VPN protection for an unlimited number of devices and this is no different for Dedicated IP – all your devices can share the same IP address.

"Dedicated IP acts as a permanent, individual address on the internet that offers a more stable and reliable VPN experience," said Pukys. "Unlike shared IP addresses, which may be used by hundreds of users at once and often trigger human verification requests, a Dedicated IP can significantly reduce such disruptions."

"It also enhances secure access to platforms that require consistent identification, such as remote servers or banking services, and minimizes exposure to the risks commonly associated with shared IP usage," he added.

Dedicated IP is available as a paid add-on for all Surfshark for $3.75 per month. To upgrade, log into your Surfshark account, select "Dedicated IP" then "Upgrade." Choose your location and pay.

A 30-day money-back guarantee is included but you can only purchase one Dedicated IP per account.

Who else offers a dedicated or static IP address?

A number of VPN providers also offer a dedicated or static IP address as a paid add-on to plans:

• Private Internet Access (PIA) – $2.50 per month, 26 locations
• CyberGhost – $2.50 per month, 21 locations
• ExpressVPN – $3.99 per month, 29 locations
• NordVPN – $4.19 per month, 39 locations

NordVPN's dedicated IP address is the most expensive of the leading providers – but it does have the largest number of locations.

PIA and CyberGhost's dedicated IPs are the cheapest amongst these VPNs, so if price is a concern these may be a better option for you. Proton VPN also offers a dedicated IP address but only for business users.
