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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Just one with 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 safe. A VPN with 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 confidential, and both IP address types are equally safe.
If you assign a fixed / static IP address to a device, the address doesn’t change. In comparison, a shared IP will vary according to the server. This does not happen with fixed / static IPs.
Definitely. All NordLayer users have access to all shared gateways.
With a NordLayer subscription, you get a shared dynamic IP address. Whenever you connect to a regular NordLayer server, you’re likely to get a new IP address — even if you connect to the same server again. However, you can get a dedicated IP address, which only you will use, and it will never change.
