Hi, for work needs I have this problem. Usually I travel across my country and with my phone I have to connect to my company’s server through remote access. The problem I am facing is the firewall of the server, who scans my IP Address to check if the IP is authorized to connect to it. I can change the firewall settings when I am not traveling, but since when I am out for work, the IP changes multiple times, I would like to find a way to make it static with a VPN. Is it possible to do so with Proton?
Out of the box not, however you can contact the business sales team:
We handle these requests with HubSpot. If you would like to communicate privately with Proton AG, please send an email with the below information to [email protected].
or create a profile in the app ,choose a vpn you want, create a profile with it . then configure the app quickconnect settings to connect to that profile.
this way you always connect to that vpn and it will always be the same ip.
I have been connected to US-NJ-09 for 3 months and my public ip has not changed once (based on ip.me). It is even blacklisted in a few places and despite notifying that to support. the ip has still not changed.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I tried an hour ago, but currently it seems that “at least for me” the IP changes during time. Essentially I did everything you said, but sometimes when I reconnect, the IP changes.
Are you using the app? On android?
Does the app show you are always connected to the same location.
I test and if I pick nj-09 either on windows or mobile I always get the same public IP.
I’d give wireguard a go
A bit old but I stumbled across this. Apparently using a single server .ovpn configuration file doesn’t help, when reconnecting the ip changes nearly every time.
What does work seems to be with a single server WireGuard configuration, I’ve been using it now since a couple of days and the ip is always the same every time I reconnect to the VPN
