Unbreakable Dedicated VPN Connection by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL with Speedify
A dedicated IP is a VPN address handed to you alone rather than shared with hundreds of other customers. Shared VPN addresses cause trouble: streaming services block a shared address, banks ask for extra logins, websites throw up checks.
Speedify is an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections into one faster, more reliable connection, and encrypts your traffic like a VPN. A Speedify Dedicated Server comes with a dedicated IP address (a static IPv4 address nobody else uses), port forwarding and server bandwidth that is yours alone. Speedify’s speed and failover gains need two or more internet connections, such as Wi-Fi plus a phone’s 4G/5G cellular; on a single internet connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and can be a little slower.

The comparison below sets a dedicated IP against a Dedicated Server so you can tell which one your situation calls for, and shows what each option adds when Speedify is doing the work.
Dedicated IP VPN Meaning: A Public IP Address Only You Use
In this article, IP address means the public (external) IP address: the one the rest of the internet sees for your connection.
When you’re using a VPN, your computer or smartphone connects through a secure tunnel to a remote server. That server has a unique IP address which communicates with the Internet. So, all the people that connect through that same secure VPN server will be “seen” by the Internet as having the same IP address. This is how most of the VPN users connect to the Internet.
There are cases when it’s best to have your own unique IP address that nobody else uses. And that’s when the dedicated IP comes into place. When you opt for a dedicated IP address from your VPN provider, you will get your own IP which nobody else will use. For how that differs from a static or shared address, see dedicated IP vs. static IP vs. shared IP.
When a Dedicated IP VPN Helps: Bans, CAPTCHAs, Banking and Port Forwarding
You need a dedicated IP VPN anytime you want to appear in the same place on the Internet. Most VPNs use their public servers to rent out dedicated IP addresses along with the default “public” one.
The advantages of using a dedicated IP VPN include:
- Avoiding blocklists: bans in online games, on websites and in other services that other people sharing the same VPN address triggered;
- Fewer CAPTCHAs and login checks: when thousands of people share one VPN address, websites answer with CAPTCHAs and extra verification, which an address of your own makes less frequent;
- Online banking and online payments: some banks block or question logins from shared VPN addresses, and they treat Speedify like any other VPN. A fixed address that only you use avoids shared-address blocks, and a Dedicated Server’s static IP can go on an IP allow list. Check your bank’s rules first; another option is adding the bank’s site in Speedify under Settings > Bypass, so that traffic goes directly from your device, outside the encrypted tunnel.
- Port forwarding: reach a device at home through a secure connection from the internet. Speedify Dedicated Servers include port forwarding; here is how to set up VPN port forwarding.
A dedicated IP does not change where you are allowed to bet or play. Betting and poker apps check your real location and their terms decide, so keep Speedify on a server in the country you are in; Speedify’s job is keeping the app connected.
Dedicated IP VPN vs. Dedicated VPN Server
VPN dedicated IP addresses are assigned on the same public servers that everybody is using. This means that if you get a VPN dedicated IP, you will basically be connecting to the same server that others connect, but get a different IP address, unique to you. This can be enough for some users.
A dedicated VPN server is a separate virtual machine (VM) rented at a hosting provider, with its own CPU cores, memory and network bandwidth. You get everything a dedicated IP gives you, plus bandwidth and processing power that no one else uses. A Speedify Dedicated Server offers up to 1 Gbps and 3 TB of data a month (more on request), which helps with live streaming, online gaming, day trading or streaming video to several devices. You pick its location when you order it; Speedify’s shared servers cover more than 50 locations on paid plans.
When a Dedicated VPN Server Is Worth Getting: Business Access, Gaming and Streaming
Along with the advantages of a dedicated IP VPN in the section above, a dedicated VPN server is worth it if you are:
- Connecting securely to your private business network: network admins can allow access only from specific IP addresses, and a Dedicated Server’s static IP can go on that allow list;
- Connecting securely from the Internet to your local server for content or web services;
- Online gaming: no one else shares the server’s bandwidth or its IP address, so you avoid game bans that other users of a shared VPN address earned. A VPN server does not lower ping on its own; what Speedify adds is a game that stays connected and less packet loss when one internet connection drops.
- Live streaming: you pick a server location close to the platform’s ingest servers to minimize latency, and the server’s bandwidth is yours alone.
- Streaming: with the server’s bandwidth to yourself, other users cannot slow your stream. Streaming services set their own regional rules in their terms, and Speedify does not unblock geo-restricted streaming libraries: you get the library of the country you are in.
Static or Dedicated IP for Gaming: What It Changes
A static or dedicated IP does not make a game faster: ping depends on the route between you and the game server, and a VPN server adds a hop. A fixed address helps when other players need to reach you, for example when you host a game server through port forwarding, and it keeps you clear of bans tied to a shared VPN address.
How to Get a Dedicated VPN Server with Speedify
A Speedify Dedicated Server works together with combining internet connections: the Speedify app still uses two or more internet connections on your computer or phone at once, so traffic to your own server gets the bandwidth of all of them. When one connection drops, traffic moves to the others and your public IP address stays the same, so logged-in sessions, calls and trading platforms do not see a new address.
To get a Dedicated Server if you do not have a Speedify plan yet:
- Go to the Speedify Store page on speedify.com.
- Select your desired subscription type.
- Finish the payment.
- Login to your Speedify account using the email you used in the purchase process.
- From the dashboard click on “Manage” under your subscription and then “Add a Dedicated Server”
- You will receive an email: reply with the location you want for the server.
- A member of the Speedify team contacts you to confirm the details of the Dedicated Server, such as its location and hosting provider. Speedify sets Dedicated Servers up within 24 hours.
If you already have a Speedify account, whether an Individual, Families or Teams plan, follow steps 4 to 7 above.
Choose a Dedicated Server if you need a fixed IP address for an allow list, port forwarding, or bandwidth nobody else shares. If you only need to stop the bans and CAPTCHAs that come with a shared VPN address, a dedicated IP is enough.
