STATIC IP

Same IP Address. Every Time You Connect.

A Static IP will assign you a VPN address that does not change between sessions, which helps with allowlists, remote access and services that expect a consistent address.

Static IPs are not exclusively assigned to your account. Multiple customers share the same Static IP if they connect to the same location. If you need an address assigned exclusively to your account, that is the separately billed Dedicated IP add-on.

Consistent VPN addressYour account will have the same supported VPN address for each session, subject to availability.
Useful for compatible allowlistsYour Static IP gives you a predictable VPN address for systems that allow IP-based access rules.
No separate add-onThis feature is included with your eligible Senton subscription, unlike Dedicated IP, which is billed separately.

What is a Static IP?

A Static IP is a VPN address that remains the same each time you connect to a supported Senton location. This is the same thing as a fixed IP address.

Whereas with dynamic IPs your address may differ each time you connect to the VPN, a static IP address will provide your compatible services with the same address each time.

While your Static IP is tied to the location you select, it will not be exclusively yours.

  • Consistent IP address
  • Available in selected locations
  • Useful for compatible allowlists
  • Works through supported Senton applications
  • Different from the Dedicated IP add-on

Static IP or dynamic VPN IP?

Dynamic VPN IP
  • May change with each VPN connection
  • Connects to a general pool of servers
  • Good for everyday browsing privacy
  • More variation in IP addresses
  • Included with the standard VPN service
Static IP
  • IP address is intended to remain the same
  • Connect to a Static IP location
  • Useful for needing to use the same address
  • Not dedicated to one account
  • Availability varies by location and platform

There is no better choice between static and dynamic IP addresses. A static IP VPN connection will provide the same address each time you connect, while a dynamic IP will provide a different one.

Static IP and Dedicated IP are different

Both give you a consistent address — the difference is whether it is reserved for your account.

Static IP
  • Offers a consistent VPN address
  • Obtained from a supported Static IP location
  • Included with eligible plans
  • Shared with other customers using the same location
  • Useful for general use with a consistent IP address
Dedicated IP
  • Offers a consistent VPN address reserved for one account
  • Available as an optional, separately billed add-on
  • Only available in supported Dedicated IP locations
  • Better suited to account-specific allowlisting
  • Has different characteristics regarding privacy

Senton VPN runs a static IP address VPN service in selected locations, and dedicated IP addresses are offered as a separate product. These two offerings cannot be active at the same time, so choose the one that fits before you connect.

How Static IP works

1Open Senton VPNLaunch a supported Senton application.
2Choose Static IPSelect a supported Static IP country, city or server.
3ConnectSenton VPN routes your eligible traffic through the selected Static VPN IP address.
4Reconnect consistentlyReconnect using the same Static VPN address on any later connections, subject to availability.

A Static IP address should remain the same for the customer. However, Senton VPN may need to replace it to accommodate maintenance, security, infrastructure changes, availability or abuse prevention.

Why choose a Static IP?

Compatible IP allowlistsUse a predictable VPN IP with supported systems that allow IP-based access.
Fewer prompts for verificationA consistent address may reduce some prompts caused specifically by frequent IP changes.
Stable remote accessMaintain a predictable VPN exit address when accessing compatible business or private systems.
Consistent system identityUse the same VPN IP across supported sessions where a stable address is useful.

Understand the privacy trade-off

What Static IP provides
  • A consistent VPN address
  • The selected VPN location
  • VPN-tunnel protection for eligible traffic
  • Predictable access for compatible services
What Static IP does not provide
  • Complete anonymity
  • Guaranteed access to third-party services
  • Protection from account tracking
  • Removal of cookies
  • Removal of browser fingerprints
  • A legally owned IP address
  • Exclusivity — that is the Dedicated IP add-on
  • Stronger encryption than other Senton locations

A consistent IP can be easier to associate with repeated activity than an address that changes regularly.

Compatibility depends on the service

Remote accessA Static IP may be useful with compatible remote systems that expect a predictable source address.
IP allowlistsAdd the Static IP to supported allowlists when permitted by the service administrator.
Security-sensitive websitesSome websites may respond more consistently to a stable IP, but additional verification can still occur.
Streaming and online servicesA Static IP does not guarantee access to any specific platform, content catalogue or online service.

Third-party services can block or restrict any VPN IP at their discretion.

Static IP availability

Application support and connection scope depend on the current Senton platform.

AndroidSupported

How Static IP works with other Senton features

BypasserTraffic excluded through Bypasser does not use the Static VPN IP.
Kill SwitchKill Switch behaviour when a Static IP connection drops follows the supported platform behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

No. While it is meant to remain the same, it is not a permanent IP address and it is not yours to keep. Senton may need to replace the address for maintenance, security, availability or abuse prevention, and no VPN can guarantee that a given address will last forever.
