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.

I understand your frustration with CAPTCHAs and VPN blocks. For home users, a dedicated IP can make browsing smoother. You might want to check out https://essutumishi.tz/ for more info on improving your online experience.

yes! Dedicated IP's which are not expensive!

Dedicated IPs can be pretty expensive though, so I'd like to propose a middle ground: exclusive IPs, still shared but with an extremely limited amount of users.

Kinda like sharing a device between 2-3 people, requests can be rate limited to prevent botting by users, and it wouldn't route enough traffic to flag any detections.

I'm tired of solving captchas and disabling my VPN to access VPN-blocked websites. Paid users should have a dedicated IP. I support this even if they increase the VPN price or just for this.

This is quite basic feature for any good VPN service. Nord, cyber ghost, and others have it. Filling up complicated captchas frequently is tiresome.

I wholeheartedly support the idea of offering dedicated IP addresses for personal plans. This would be a fantastic addition and could easily be provided as an add-on feature. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time! A dedicated IP would not only reduce frustrating issues with captchas and blocked sites but also enhance security by providing a stable address that can be whitelisted for various services. This would make online activities more reliable and seamless. I truly hope to see this option available soon!

Firewalls and security services frequently offer the option to permit access from Dedicated or Specific IPs. For example, in a WordPress site with security plugins, you can limit access to the Admin area to only the IP's you specify. While this would be a fantastic way to harden sites, I am hesitant to us it as I don't know if/when my Internet Service Provider or Proton will change the IP of my router or server, respectively. If they did, I could lose access to my website administration account. Having a dedicated IP would solve this. So count me in on this one!

I agree with this point and believe it should be included in higher-tier plans without extra cost. It would be great to have a dedicated IP at the router level along with Proton VPN servers at the device level to secure the entire home.

I agree and I think it should be included at least with higher tier plans without an additional cost. I would love to have a dedicated IP at the router level and proton VPN servers at the device level to cover the whole home.

Compared to other comments here I'm not too bothered by the captcha's, what I'm particularly interested in is the possibility to access my home servers (domotic, media, etc...).

This would be amazing! I would definitely pay extra for this addon if it was added

If it was possible to switch to this dedicated IP only when required I think it'd be a good idea.

My bank now blocks ProtonVPN's servers, and the Google captchas are getting out of hand. Would love the option to purchase a dedicated IP.

I agree that a Dedicated IP is needed (NordVPN offers it for example as a paid add on). However I also find that some engineering is needed to fix the excessive captchas when connected to ProtonVPN (seems to be much worse than with other VPNs) and also to circunvent VPN blocking (I've seen a number of websites that block VPNs and a dedicated IP doesn't fix that most of the time).

Would absolutely love a dedicated IP for my main browsing devices and a non-dedicated one for my other connections

With each user of the duo plan getting 10 connections each (which is good) the ability to use them in a variety of ways as-needed would be great

Use free bash script to setup shadowsocks. 1 click script.

I switched to Proton after 6 years on SS only coz I need many countries

I think we really need this. I fully agree with it and it so happens that my wife is actually constantly disabling the VPN and I can't blame her.

Privacy comes at a cost of less user friendlyness but could easily be fixed.
