- Surfshark has just launched a dedicated IP function for its browser extension
- Users can choose from unique and static IP addresses in 20 cities in 15 countries
- The optional complementary module is already accessible to all surfhark subscribers
Surfshark has launched a dedicated IP functionality for its browser extension, which conforms it to its office and its mobile counterparts.
Surfshark first launched its dedicated IP function on its Windows, Mac, Android and iOS applications in 2023, allowing users to have their own unique static IP addresses. He has since extended his offer to 20 intellectual property locations dedicated in 15 countries and 20 cities.
The addition of the functionality means that users of the Chrome, Firefox and EDGE Surfhark extensions can continue to benefit from the protection of Surfshark while benefiting from the advantages of having a dedicated IP.
The use of a dedicated IP address makes it possible to avoid the shared black list and allows reliable access to the services which restrict IP modifications. The dedicated IP address function of Surfshark supports the best VPN, Wireguard protocols included, providing the fastest possible speeds.
What the dedicated intellectual property of surfhark is and why is it important
Most VPNs, Surfshark included, offer shared IP addresses, which improve anonymity by mixing users and their activities behind the same IP address. However, there are times when a dedicated IP address – that is to say a single static IP address attributed exclusively to a single VPN user – is more appropriate.
“A dedicated IP provides a coherent IP address for each navigation session, which makes it ideal for securely accessing private servers or corporate access systems,” said the senior product manager at Surfshark, Justas Pukys. “Unlike a standard VPN connection, which provides a shared IP address that changes with each session and is used by several users, a dedicated IP offers exclusive use.”
Shared IP addresses have the reputation of encouraging requests for human verification – boring captors that ask you to resolve a puzzle or select traffic lights. However, dedicated IP addresses minimize the frequency of Captcha verifications by presenting a coherent and reliable identity to websites, which are then less likely to report traffic as a suspect.
Likewise, having a coherent dedicated IP address allows users to more easily access websites and applications that otherwise block shared IP addresses. This includes government websites or online banking services, which require coherent identification.
How to extension of the Surfshark browser is accompanied by its VPN applications
The extension of the Surfshark browser is a light version of its applications, which makes you even easier to secure your connection. The extension offers several of the same features as the Surfshark office applications, including access to Alternative ID, Surfshark Antivirus and Cleanweb.
One of the main differences between a VPN browser extension and a VPN application is that an extension only secures your browser traffic and not the applications you use.
In addition, the surfhark extension does not offer a killing switch because it only works in the browser layer and, unlike the surfhark application, cannot control or block traffic on a system scale. Likewise, the browser extension does not include access to multi -hip servers in surfhark.
Like applications, however, extensions of the Chrome, Firefox and EDGE de Surfhark browser now offer dedicated IPs in 20 large cities.
These are: Australia (Sydney), Brazil (Sao Paulo), Canada (Toronto), France (Paris), Germany (Frankfurt Am Main), Hong Kong (Hong Kong) Kingdom (London), United States (Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York and San Jose).
Surfshark dedicated IP is available for all surfhark users and costs an additional $ 3.75 per month. You will find the option to add an IP address dedicated to your Surfshark subscription via your Surfshark account or by clicking on the “Dedicated IP” button in the applications and the Surfhark extension.
