speed difference with dedicated IP vs VPN
Hi, I hope you're ready for your trip. Sometimes websites get blocked in certain countries, making it hard to stay connected. You mentioned using a VPN, but it slows things down a lot. Is switching to a dedicated IP address better? Could it really help? If not, by how much would speeds improve? I tried searching online but couldn't find clear answers. I only use PIA as a VPN and think you could restrict it for specific apps, but that doesn’t seem enough. I need all traffic—both incoming and outgoing—to go through the VPN consistently. Thanks!
The key to speed lies in the protocol and your connection delay to the server. Delay changes based on many variables, but you have no control over them.
You're asking about what "dedicated IP" really means. It usually refers to a fixed IP address assigned by your internet service provider, not something you control yourself. If you need access to content that's blocked in your region, a VPN is still necessary to bypass those restrictions. Your VPN service might offer static IP options, which generally won't impact your connection speed. The slower speeds often come from the server location, so choosing a different country could improve performance.
