Is it worth sacrificing some online privacy for the convenience of a dedicated IP address?
IPVanish has launched a dedicated IP address feature, allowing users to purchase a unique address through their account portal. The service is now available across five global cities and supports the WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 protocols.
Why it matters
This release provides users with a fixed identity to simplify remote access and improve login reliability for restricted networks. It offers an alternative to shared server pools that can trigger security checkpoints or site blocks.
The new feature is accessible across five initial locations: New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Tokyo. Users manage the add-on through a dedicated tab within their application, which enables toggling between the assigned static IP and shared server resources.
The players
IPVanish
A virtual private network provider offering encrypted traffic routing and server infrastructure across multiple global protocols.
The details
The system assigns a unique, static IP address that remains exclusive to a single user, preventing the reputation issues often associated with shared server IPs. It integrates into the existing application stack to support WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 tunneling protocols. Users can manage this configuration via their account portal, with the dedicated address appearing as a selectable option within the app's location list.
