Benefits
A dedicated IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique digital identifier that can be assigned to users via the NordLayer Control Panel — negating the option of them being designated a shared IP from the same server. Dedicated IPs can be used to verify permitted users to access a company network — each user will have their company’s unique IP address ahead of further authentication with the likes of 2FA and SSO.
Through our dedicated server option, you can set up private gateways so that all traffic in and out of your network will be sent via the same IP address — no matter which ISP or mobile service you use.
Control network access permissions
Prevent unauthorized network access via IP allowlisting
Teams can quickly access business data from anywhere
Differing IP types
A dedicated IP is an IP address that is only used by one person or organization via a dedicated server and a private gateway to the internet — also known as a static or fixed IP, it doesn’t change, which means identification is made easy.
The majority of the time when you connect to a VPN server, you share that IP address with many other users. You select a server location and are assigned an IP. This shared IP address is also used by many other VPN service users that select the same VPN server location.

Getting started
With a NordLayer dedicated server, you’ll be able to quickly and easily gain access to company networks securely. This means that no matter if your business teams are working from home, the office, or on the other side of the world, they can enjoy the same secure and high-performance access to the resources they need.
With a fixed IP — you can create allowlists and identify your company users from others, whichever network they’re on and location they’re in.

Visibility & Control
With NordLayer, businesses can ensure their networks are only accessible through specific IP addresses in order to guard against costly and damaging cyber threats including; malware, ransomware, and data theft.
With a dedicated IP, your IT admins can ensure that only trusted users will be authorized to enter the network to access company resources.
Network access control features such as IP allowlisting automatically deny access to the network by unknown or untrusted users.
Further granulation of user permissions can also be employed to segment the company network by different user groups — ensuring staff can only access resources they really need.
NordLayer’s intuitive Control Panel makes it easy for businesses to customize access permissions and view network and online activity
Network access security
Additional info
Just one dedicated IP provided by NordLayer’s dedicated server option is enough to protect your entire company and provide secure network access to your whole workforce. You can assign the same dedicated IP address to multiple team members by adding or transferring user licenses via our centralized Control Panel.
Yes, fixed IP (or static) addresses are completely safe. A fixed IP is individual to you and your company, utilizing a dedicated server that handles your traffic only. Both shared and private IPs will keep your identity private, and both IP address types are equally safe. The main benefit of a fixed IP is that you’re able to allowlist specific IPs in order to connect to local network resources.
If you assign a fixed / static IP address to a device, then the address doesn’t change. In comparison, a shared IP will change according to the server. This does not happen with fixed / static IPs.
