Looking for a South African IP address you do not have to share? Our South African dedicated IP VPN pairs 2048-bit encryption with a fresh, unused address from South Africa. It works on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android and costs $30 a month.
South Africa at a glance
South Africa is a country at the southern tip of Africa with eleven official languages. The capital is Pretoria. It is part of the African region, which our network covers with servers in many neighbouring countries.
What you can do with a South African dedicated IP
People choose a South African dedicated IP for many different reasons. These are the most common ones:
- Join game servers and regional lobbies in the African region with an address that matches where you want to appear.
- Look like a local: sites and apps that treat visitors from abroad differently will see an address from South Africa.
- Log in from the same South African address every time, which keeps account security checks calm.
- Avoid sharing a flagged address: if another customer misbehaves on a shared VPN IP, you are not affected.
- Work safely on shared networks while still appearing from South Africa.
South Africa dedicated IP vs. shared IP
A quick comparison shows why many people upgrade to an address of their own:
| Shared IP address | South Africa dedicated IP |
|---|---|
| Flagged if another user abuses it | Not affected by what other customers do |
| Address can differ between sessions | The same address every time you connect |
| Used to access numerous websites | Never before used |
| Shared with other users | Used only by you |
How to get your South Africa IP address
Once your payment arrives we ask a data centre in South Africa for a new address. As soon as it is assigned we build your account around it and send you the details, normally within a day. Then install the OpenVPN-based app for Windows, iOS or Android (Mac users can use Tunnelblick or Viscosity), sign in and connect.
