Should You Use NordVPN's Dedicated IP?

We strongly recommend that you don’t buy NordVPN’s dedicated IP address.

NordVPN requires you to purchase an additional subscription for its dedicated IP, which is then linked to your existing VPN account.

This potentially compromises your privacy it creates a traceable link between your dedicated IP address, any activity associated with it, and your main NordVPN account.

EXPERT ADVICE: We recommend purchasing Private Internet Access’ dedicated IP for a completely anonymous subscription. Sign-up is carried out through a secure token system that can’t be traced to your account.

Why Are Dedicated IP Addresses More Expensive?

The higher price of static IP addresses mainly stems from their limited supply. IPv4, used by most IP addresses, has a maximum capacity of 4.3 billion addresses. To manage this scarce resource, ISPs and VPNs typically use dynamic IPs, allowing reuse among customers.

Static IPs need manual setup, which increases costs compared to dynamic IPs that are automatically assigned by DHCP servers. This automation helps reduce errors, avoid address conflicts, and cut down on management tasks.
