The Best VPNs with Dedicated IPs

As we’ve just mentioned, ExpressVPN guarantees online anonymity by making you create a unique token (an access code) when you sign up for a dedicated IP.

This unique key is the only way for you to access your dedicated IP address, with no association with your main ExpressVPN account.

This is by design, so that not even ExpressVPN knows who is using its dedicated IPs. In the event of a law enforcement request, the company won’t be able to confirm if an IP address belongs to a specific account holder.

Despite the token system, setting up a dedicated IP address with ExpressVPN is straightforward, as we run through later in the guide.

Make sure you create a strong and unique access code, and store it securely, since it’s the only way for you retrieve your dedicated IP.

The only issue with using ExpressVPN to get a dedicated IP is that they’re only available through the Windows, Android, or iOS applications.

Therefore, if you need a dedicated IP to use on your MacBook then ExpressVPN is not the right choice for you.

What truly sets ExpressVPN apart is its exceptionally well-designed and intuitive apps. Using ExpressVPN is a genuinely more enjoyable experience than other VPNs, including NordVPN, especially on desktop.

The slick UI is consistent across all platforms, with a large Connect button dominating the home screen and secondary buttons next to it for quick access to the full server list, the most recent location, and the nearest (fastest) server.

And if you’re planning on using your dedicated IP address to unblock content geo-restrictions, then there is no better VPN than ExpressVPN.

For many years the VPN service has continued to work smoothly with popular services like Netflix (supporting 18, Prime Video, DAZN, Disney+, HBO Max, and BBC iPlayer, among many others.

Only NordVPN can just about compete with ExpressVPN streaming-wise, although using ExpressVPN’s apps is a lot more satisfying.

ExpressVPN offers dedicated IPs in: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom (2 cities), and the United States (7 cities).

Let’s say it how it is: the only reason why you may want to use a NordVPN dedicated IP is because you need one from a country that ExpressVPN or PIA don’t cover, or because you want to use it on your Mac.

NordVPN’s range of dedicated IPs is the most extensive in the industry, covering less common locations like Athens, Auckland, Istanbul and Vienna.

The key issue with NordVPN’s dedicated IP solution is privacy: unlike ExpressVPN’s and PIA’s tokenized system, NordVPN’s dedicated IPs are fully associated with your account.

Unfortunately this association presents a serious privacy risk: in the event of a law enforcement request, NordVPN would comply (as they’ve previously indicated) and share the account details linked to the IP address.

To be clear, NordVPN wouldn’t be able to provide any web activity logs, but that’s meaningless if law enforcement have already obtained that data from other sources.

On the plus side, it is possible to have more than one dedicated IP linked to your NordVPN account. The process isn’t particularly smooth, but it works.

You’ll have to first contact customer service, then open a separate temporary NordVPN account for each additional dedicated IP you want, and finally ask the support team to transfer the IP(s) to your main account.

If you’re comfortable with the non-tokenized privacy risks, NordVPN will deliver excellent results for virtually any activity you wish to perform with your dedicated IP address.

Thanks to its NordLynx protocol, NordVPN’s speed performance is very similar to ExpressVPN’s, with a barely noticeable internet speed loss of just 4% connecting close by, and 14% around the globe.

On top of exceptional speeds, NordVPN’s dedicated IPs are also highly reliable for bypassing regional restrictions, especially in Australia and Canada where the service easily unblocks platforms like Kayo Sports and Fubo.

NordVPN offers dedicated IPs in: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada (3 cities), Czech Republic, Denmark, France (2 cities), Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom (3 cities), and the United States (10 cities).

PIA utilizes the same token-based system as ExpressVPN, which generates a unique, anonymous key for its dedicated IP feature that only you can access.

Through this secure, tokenized allocation, it’s technically impossible for PIA itself to link your purchased dedicated IP with your VPN account.

Moreover, PIA’s strict no-logs policy has successfully passed both independent security audits and real-world court examinations.

And while the cheapest cost for an ExpressVPN dedicated IP is $3.99 per month, and $4.19 with NordVPN, PIA charges as low as $2.50 per month through its multi-year subscription plan.

While $2.50 per month is a definite bargain for a dedicated IP, the fact that you can only choose one from 8 countries is underwhelming compared to rivals.

Key locations missing include important countries like France, Italy, Spain, and South Korea.

Plus, PIA’s global streaming access is less reliable than ExpressVPN’s or NordVPN’s. While it unblocks many US and UK content platforms, its performance outside these two countries is often less consistent, especially through its dedicated IP addresses.

It’s a completely different story for torrenting files, though, where PIA truly shines across its entire server network. However, we always advise against using a dedicated IP address for this type of activity.
