Dedicated IP with VPN

OVERVIEW

What is Dedicated IP?

A Dedicated IP (or Fixed IP) is an internet protocol address assigned exclusively to you and your company through a Virtual Private Gateway. It's an essential component that enables easy permission management and prevents unauthorized access to your network. With a Dedicated IP, your team members can conveniently access your business data regardless of their location.

BENEFITS

Why use Dedicated IP?

When channeled through a Dedicated (Static) IP, all of your online traffic will always remain private and unseen. Implementing a Dedicated IP is a simple and effective way to maintain a robust security system, ensuring that all users on your network are trusted ones. You can utilize Dedicated IPs to control permissions, prevent unauthorized network access, and make sure your team can smoothly access business data regardless of their location.

Secure Remote Access

Secure Remote Access

Dedicated Servers with Fixed IPs allow for safe and efficient access to company resources. Every employee using a Fixed IP can reach cloud-based networks by setting up a next-gen site-to-site VPN with a flexible solution like NordLayer. Our easy-to-use VPN apps are available on all major platforms, allowing your team to work safely from anywhere, on any device.

Allowlisting your IP's

Allowlisting your IP’s

You’re in control of who can access specific resources by allowing particular IP addresses, ensuring only authorized employees can access sensitive corporate assets. Segmenting network permissions is achievable by allowlisting your Dedicated IP addresses and allowing teams access to the servers and gateways you choose.

Prevent internal and external data breaches

Prevent internal and external data breaches

Using a Dedicated IP alongside a Business VPN ensures that your employees remain safe and anonymous while accessing your company network. Your traffic is also encrypted, keeping it hidden from potentially malicious users outside of your network perimeter. With a solution like NordLayer, you create private gateways assigned to specific teams and company branches. More so, you can utilize specific company servers and customize team-gateway access to manage permissions and protect sensitive business data efficiently.

DIFFERING TYPES

Fixed IP vs Dynamic IP

Dedicated IP

(Fixed IP)

A dedicated IP is an IP address only used by one person or organization via a dedicated server and a private gateway.

  • With a dedicated server, NordLayer can assign a dedicated IP address that only you can use.
  • This IP address will be different from your actual local IP address, so you’ll be protected with your online services.
  • All your data traffic will be sent through the dedicated server without losing any control of your digital privacy. No one else can use your company’s dedicated IP.

Shared IP

(Dynamic IP)

Most of the time, when you connect to a VPN with a shared IP address - or Dynamic IP - it is used by other unknown users. A Shared IP will change according to the server, and it’ll commonly move locations to maintain security. Such an IP will not be unique to your organization.

  • This means the data traffic of other VPN users is being sent through the same VPN server.
  • Also known as Dynamic IPs, a shared IP is assigned only temporarily and often changes.
  • This isn’t the case with a fixed IP.
