Dedicated IP

A dedicated IP is an exit address assigned exclusively to one user, so no one else's traffic shares or affects it.

What it is

A dedicated IP is an exit address assigned exclusively to a customer under service terms. Its reputation can include earlier use; exclusive assignment does not guarantee a clean history. A shared proxy serves multiple customers. Whether an address remains static depends on assignment terms. A destination IP allowlist is a separate policy and does not replace current s4m credentials.

How it works

Exclusive assignment separates an address from other customers’ concurrent use and can help IP-dependent sessions within the assignment terms. The address may have a prior history; reputation and destination acceptance are not guaranteed. IP allowlists and credential requirements are separate controls.

How it relates to s4m

A dedicated IP is exclusive during its assignment under the service terms. Prior history, assignment duration, availability and supported bindings still matter. Authenticated SOCKS5 (1080) and HTTP (3128) use the configured endpoint. Proxy credentials remain required when you choose another available exit. An exit IP can have a prior history. Accounts, cookies and browser signals may still identify a user; changing an address does not guarantee a clean reputation. Consult the published privacy policy and technical descriptions for their scope; IP assignment alone does not establish a no-logs or anonymity guarantee. The free list contains separate third-party endpoints. Past checks do not guarantee availability; validate candidates before use.
