Hello. More and more sites, and even online video games, are detecting VPNs. Most recent misadventure: two weeks ago I was playing on a French server while connected through Proton VPN in France, and my access to the game was banned. I had to contact the game’s support to explain that it was really me. A dedicated IP prevents this kind of problem and, after looking online, some major VPN providers already offer it as a very low-cost option. I don’t know what Proton VPN is waiting for to give us this opportunity.

This would be a huge quality-of-life improvement. Using ProtonVPN these days means running into endless CAPTCHAs, blocked logins, and sites flagging shared IP ranges as “suspicious.” It’s frustrating because the very privacy that draws us to Proton also makes everyday browsing painful. A reasonably priced dedicated IP for personal plans would solve that without compromising Proton’s values

I’m really considering switching the service to NordVPN because of the dedicated‑IP offer. This is necessary in some contexts, but here it could/should be implemented in a more useful way.

What I think Proton team should consider:
People who use a PC are often alternating between work and personal activities. In some cases it would be very necessary and important to have a dedicated, exclusive IP for those activities (like my use case, for example, as a developer, for secure access to certain services and the like). But it’s also essential to retain the ability to use shared IPs (as is currently the case) to ensure privacy during personal browsing, etc.

What I have in mind, and which would be extremely useful, is for any Proton user to be able to purchase as many dedicated IPs as they want and create VPN profiles for each of those dedicated IPs, while still being able to use shared IPs in other profiles. This would provide the best of both worlds, covering both needs: keeping the current functionality for satisfied users and adding support for new use cases (mainly work‑related), which would surely attract more paying customers.

NordVPN, for example, charges for dedicated IPs on a monthly basis for each IP the user wants to buy. A dedicated IP at NordVPN costs just €4.19/month. It could work the same way here.

Absolutely critical to have. I realize there's a privacy tradeoff, but a dedicated IP address is essential for me while traveling internationally so that I can log into my banks and financial institutions with predictability and without throwing the red flag of constantly changing IP addresses. I can't migrate to ProtonVPN until this is offered. (Competitors offer this for a few dollars a month on multi-year plans.)

I contact Proton about a dedicated IP for my business and they wanted some insane amount like $700/yr. I ended up trying out a few other VPN's dedicated IPs and found one that was $110 for 2 years. It solved all my captcha, blocked ip issues, and other things, but wish I could have stayed with Proton.
If you do consider offering a dedicated IP for a personal plan, make sure it will be somewhat reasonable in price for people.

Most premium VPN's have Dedicated IP plans for all users.

Would love to be able to get proton dedicated IPs :)

This is really very important, but the solution needs to come without compromising privacy, security and anonymity.

This is critical to me with a VPN and the only thing holding me back and making me hesitant on making the switch as I love all Proton stands for. But some websites I do need this option and many VPNs otherwise offer it. I either have to use the business plan (unsure if I’m allowed to do so as a freelancer without an actual ‘business’) or go without? I’m willing to pay extra for it if they offered it as an add on.

Wouldn't even mind if it were a v6 address. A dedicated IP nearly breaks anonymity anyway, so having v6 niceties would be a plus and they're cheap enough.

Tossing a v6 /56 at a customer costs about two orders of magnitude less per year than the wasted wages on a minimum wage employee sneezing once, and since more and more isps are migrating to handing out v6s only (ds-lite), v6 might be finally enough for non-private networking.

Proton, we need a solution to this. I'm seeing more websites, primarily financial or banking ones, starting to block Proton VPN use. The websites are examining the protocol and IP range usage. For example, I get blocked more when I use UDP, but UDP is suitable for streaming videos. Sometimes, I need to use TCP or Stealth to access financial websites. Other times, I have to disable the VPN. Interestingly, if I use Norton's simple VPN, it works. After the recent VPN makeover, things have become unstable.

Just saying: With a dedicated IP you would be "out of the crowd" => more fingerprintable (this is the opposite to being private)
But as an opt-in / optional feature is a nice to have for sure

Would be nice for running home servers.

Very important feature I missed by switching to Proton

Streaming companies block vpn servers because they can see that you use a vpn proton. With a dedicated ip address than belgium streaming an disney streaming can work

A cheaper plan for dedicated IP (and also available for family/personal accounts). 50,-/month/server is way too much when competitors offer it for 120,-/24 months..

That feature absolutely needs to happen, one of the largest competitors did it quite some time ago, and so can Proton team.

Agreed, totally. I come from another VPN where you could pay for a dedicated IP. This would help. I have seen this offered elsewhere for US$3 a month or less with longer term subscriptions. I’d totally pay that.

This is an incredibly important issue. The reasons given for not offering to individual users is both understandable and easily surmountable. Simply make this capability an additional account, with a separate charge, that can be installed into a router or activated via its own small app, thereby keeping it separated from a user's no-logs regular Proton VPN. Of course a dedicated IP will be able to connect to an identity, that is expected, and part of the functionality -- financial institutions and other businesses may consistently identify a user based on this IP, and are more likely to accept it as a typical use by an identified customer.

yes! Dedicated IP's which are not expensive!
