Dedicated IP VPN vs. Dedicated VPN Server – What to Choose

A VPN is a must-have for anybody connecting to the Internet today. From online hackers to ISPs and governments spying on people, it’s a good idea to keep your online activities private to snoops. The problem appears when lots of people use a certain VPN server. It may get blocked or restricted for some content, such as social media or video streaming services.

Whether you’re accessing private business data, gaming online or streaming live, you need at least a VPN dedicated IP. This will get you security and online privacy without having to worry what other users of the same VPN server are doing. This includes getting banned from online games, having to authenticate with CAPTCHA every time, etc.

Also need fast VPN speeds (bandwidth) and a stable connection to the Internet? Take it up a notch and get a dedicated VPN server.

See below what the difference is between a dedicated IP VPN and a dedicated VPN server.

In this article, when talking about IP addresses, we’ll refer to the public / external IP address. This is the one that the world sees as your Internet 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.

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 blacklists of any sort – bans in online games, specific websites and other services;
• Eliminating content restrictions – it’s easier to get past these if it’s only you using a VPN dedicated IP address versus thousands of users;
• Easier authentication for websites and services – as many people connect through the same IP address, you’ll always get CAPTCHA type anti-fraud, which takes time;
• Hassle-free online banking to avoid VPN restrictions when it comes to online payments and accessing your online banking service.
• Port forwarding – very useful when trying to access your home device through a secure connection from the Internet.
