This tutorial will show you how to set up your dedicated IP address on the ExpressVPN GUI app for Linux. If you still need to get one, learn how to buy a dedicated IP.
In order to set up dedicated IP on the ExpressVPN app for Linux, you need the following:
- An active ExpressVPN subscription
- A dedicated IP subscription
- The ExpressVPN app installed on your Linux machine
Once you have all these, follow the instructions below to set up your dedicated IP on Linux:
- Open the ExpressVPN app for Linux and click Add-ons.
- Under Privacy and Security, click Dedicated IP.
- Under Dedicated IP, click Set Up Dedicated IP.
- Select a VPN location for your dedicated IP, then click Continue.
Note: The location you choose is fixed for the duration of your add-on. You cannot change it after setup. - Set your access code, re-enter it to confirm, then click Continue.
Note: This code is the only way to access your dedicated IP on other devices, so we recommend setting a strong, unique code and keeping it somewhere safe. It must be at least 12 characters long. If you lose your access code, ExpressVPN can’t retrieve it—even with your authorization—and you will lose access to your dedicated IP. - Click Copy Access Code to copy and save your code, then press Done.
Look out for a notification on the app telling you that your dedicated IP is ready to use. This may take up to 20 minutes. - Click Connect to start using your dedicated IP.
