Shared routes vs dedicated connectivity
Compare shared routes, personal dedicated connectivity, and team dedicated connectivity by usage frequency, device count, and business scenario.
Route and IP comparisons
If you are deciding between shared routes, personal dedicated, team dedicated, shared IP, dedicated IP, and static IP, start here. These pages explain selection logic without fixed-speed promises or claims about changing third-party platform rules.
Shared IP vs dedicated static IP
Understand shared IP, dedicated IP, and static IP for allowlisting, secure access, remote work, and team collaboration.
Is a residential IP really safer?
Risk is decided by IP history, exclusivity, usage consistency, and network reputation — not by the physical origin label.
How to choose a dedicated static IP
Exclusivity, IP history, static address, delivery model, support.
Decision matrix
If you only read one table, match your scenario below; each row links to a more detailed comparison.
| Use case | Recommended route | Dedicated IP needed? | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday browsing, video, occasional use | Shared connectivity | Not needed | Free |
| Personal long-term work, fixed dashboard login | Personal dedicated connectivity | Recommended | Paid, see Pricing |
| Team collaboration, multi-device, shared allowlist | Team dedicated connectivity | Recommended | Quoted per team |
Quick selection guidance
- Light browsing or temporary access: start with shared connectivity — it's free.
- Single long-running dashboard or consistent environment: consider personal dedicated and static IP to cut down on unusual-login prompts.
- Team collaboration, allowlists, and business admin systems: consider team dedicated and static IP, quoted per team size.
- Not sure which fits: try shared connectivity first, then decide whether to upgrade based on how often you actually use it.
