Speedify’s dedicated VPN speed servers provide a number of benefits for your Speedify account:

• Potentially much higher speeds, with up to 1 Gbps available to you, your family, or your team.
• 3TB of bandwidth per month. Need additional data? Contact Support
• More consistent speeds, as no one else is on your server.
• Consistent IP address for those who need to whitelist their IP for certain secure services.
• Port forwarding for those who need to run a server that can be reached from the Internet.
• Guaranteed service level agreement: for each hour that your system is down, you get a day of free service.

In many cases, yes. If you are using faster connections with combined speeds above 200 - 300 Mbps, then you can expect faster speeds from the dedicated server. If you are combining lower speed connections, however, a public server will probably be sufficient.

The dedicated server is a separate VM (virtual machine) rented at a hosting provider. The exact specs can vary by location, but you will be using a server with its own allotment of CPU (multiple cores), memory, and 3TB of monthly network bandwidth.

If there is planned maintenance, the hosting providers will let us know well in advance and we can notify you about the expected down time. If your server happens to be down at a certain time, then Speedify will connect you to a different server in our infrastructure.

Of course, there can be unexpected downtime if something fails at the hosting provider, but those instances are rare. If your server does go down, we compensate you with free service.

One of the benefits of a Dedicated Server is that the combination of port forwarding and the server's static IP address lets you run internet-accessible services on machines that connect to the internet through Speedify.

Port forwarding allows computers on the internet to connect to a service that is actually running on one of your computers, which is connected to the Dedicated Server via Speedify. The client request will go to a port on the Dedicated Server, which will then send the request over the bonded and encrypted Speedify connection of the correct connected computer.
