Is it worth sacrificing some online privacy for the convenience of a dedicated IP address?
VPN provider IPVanish has introduced a dedicated IP address feature that assigns a unique address to a single user. The service is now available for purchase as an optional add-on through the company's account portal.
Why it matters
This feature aims to improve user experience by providing more reliable login processes and consistent remote access. By using a unique address, individuals can avoid the common challenges associated with shared VPN server pools.
The new feature supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 protocols across a wide range of platforms including Windows, macOS, and smart TV apps. These dedicated IPs are currently deployed in five global hubs: New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Tokyo.
The players
IPVanish
IPVanish is a virtual private network service provider that offers encrypted internet connections and IP masking for global users.
The details
Users can toggle between their unique dedicated IP and the standard shared server network at any time through the app's location menu. The service is integrated across multiple platforms, covering mobile, desktop, and streaming devices.
Timeline
The dedicated IP feature officially launched on October 30, 2026.
The company expects to complete a transition to RAM-only servers by 2027.
The Tech Race
This move signals a broader effort by VPN providers to differentiate services by offering more stable, static access options compared to traditional shared IP pools. It complements the industry-wide push toward security-focused infrastructure, such as the upcoming transition to RAM-only servers.
Users can now enjoy more reliable access to restricted sites or remote systems that often flag shared VPN addresses. The ability to manage these unique IPs through the standard account portal provides a streamlined workflow for existing customers.
The takeaway
Dedicated IPs offer a practical solution for VPN users who require consistent access without the performance hurdles of shared server traffic. Implementing this feature can simplify daily authentication processes for remote work or sensitive account logins.
