Dedicated IP: the new must-have feature of Surfshark VPN
When you use a VPN, most of the time you are assigned an IP address shared between several users. This may impact the reliability and security of services. This is where the dedicated address solution by Surfshark join the game.
Why use a dedicated IP address?
With this solution, you benefit from stable, reliable identification that avoids the risk of blocking linked to a shared IP. Indeed, you no longer suffer the consequences of the actions of other users by being the only user of your address. Finally, a dedicated IP address reduces the number of requests on a CAPTCHA, thus limiting the risk of being considered a robot by the security of a site. Rather practical, and all without impacting the speed of your VPN.
How to activate your dedicated Surfshark IP address?
To access the dedicated IP address of Surfshark, nothing’s easier. Once your account is created, go to the user interface:
- From the Surfshark VPN site or app, go to your dashboard
- Open the side menu and open the tab vpn
- Go to the section Dedicated IP
- Select the location for your dedicated IP address
- Once done, click Enable
- At any time, from this space, you can modify the parameters of your address or delete its information by clicking on Settings
For now, Surfshark offers 6 locations for your dedicated IP address, which will soon be enriched by new areas:
- Los Angeles, USA
- New York, USA
- Dallas, United States
- San Jose, USA
- London, UK
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
The next locations are Hong Kong, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Milan, then Johannesburg, Sydney, Toronto and Paris. To choose the best location for your VPN, consider your physical location as well as the intended use. For example, to access the extensive catalog of Netflix, the ideal choice will be a choice in the United States.
The other advantages of Surfshark
You may not know this, but Surfshark does what other VPNs don’t! You might think VPN=VPN, but Surfshark adds some really cool features like GPS location spoofing, a la carte double VPN, and an incognito browser. The best part is that all these options are offered at only €2.05/month, while competitors are well above these prices (NordVPN costs €5.99 for example for a less rich offer)…
Stronger the offer Surfshark One offers in addition to the VPN an in-house antivirus both on PC, Mac and on mobile. At only €3.98/month, it would be a shame to miss out!
