A NordVPN Dedicated IP gives you a static IP address that only you use. Here’s why you might need one and how to set it up.

What is a Dedicated IP?

Unlike shared VPN IPs used by multiple users, a dedicated IP is assigned exclusively to your account. It remains constant across sessions.

Benefits of Dedicated IP

Avoid CAPTCHAs

Shared IPs trigger suspicious activity detections. A dedicated IP reduces verification requests.

Access IP-Restricted Services

Some services whitelist specific IPs. A dedicated IP can be added to allowlists.

Secure Remote Access

Configure firewalls to allow only your VPN IP for business network access.

Online Banking

Banks flag logins from different IPs. A consistent IP reduces fraud alerts.

Avoid Blocklists

Shared IPs can end up blocklisted due to other users’ activities. Your dedicated IP stays clean.
