Introduction
In this article, you will learn how to connect to a Dedicated IP server using the NordVPN browser extension. Using a dedicated IP helps you maintain a consistent online identity, which allows access to IP-restricted networks and reduces the frequency of security prompts.
Prerequisites
- You must have purchased a dedicated IP address associated with your account.
- You must have the dedicated IP set up within your Nord Account dashboard before it will appear in the extension. If the setup is not complete, the server will not be available for connection.
Here's what to do
- Open your web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
- Click on the NordVPN extension icon located in your browser's toolbar.
- Log in with your Nord Account credentials if you are not already signed in.
- Navigate to the main screen of the extension.
- Look directly under the search bar. You will find your configured "Dedicated IP" servers listed.
- Click on the Dedicated IP server to initiate the connection.
Additional tips
- Ensure that you are not running the NordVPN desktop application and the browser extension at the same time, as this can cause connection stability issues.
- Using a Dedicated IP is an ideal solution for bypassing frequent CAPTCHA challenges and accessing sensitive corporate networks that require an allowed IP address.
- If you do not see the Dedicated IP section under the search bar, log in to your Nord Account dashboard to verify that your Dedicated IP is active and does not have a "Setup Required" warning.
