Surflare residential IP, datacenter IP and VPN locations
See where we run VPN servers, and where you can get a dedicated residential IP or a dedicated datacenter IP. Every country we cover, in one table.
What is an IP location, and why does it matter?
An IP location is where your traffic leaves our network for the internet. With a VPN server it is a temporary exit: your device connects through an encrypted tunnel, sites see the server's IP instead of yours, and you can switch country or city whenever you like. That choice shapes how fast the connection feels and which regional content opens for you.
A dedicated IP location is picked the same way, minus the latency part. Speed is never the reason: you choose the country the platform needs to see, so if you sell on a US marketplace you want a US address however far away you are. Unlike a VPN exit you cannot switch it later, it stays with you for the whole subscription, so confirm the country and city before you buy. In most countries that address comes as a residential IP or a datacenter IP, and the type changes how platforms read your traffic even from the same city.
How to choose the best IP location
For everyday use, pick a location close to you to keep latency low. To reach a service tied to a country, connect from that country instead. Switching costs nothing, so try a couple of cities and keep whichever feels fastest.
For a dedicated IP, start from the platform rather than from yourself: choose the country whose marketplace, bank, or social network you work with. Then pick the type. A residential IP carries the trust of a consumer connection and suits platforms that scrutinise signups and logins. A datacenter IP is faster and cheaper, and fits automation, data collection, and any workload where speed matters more than how the address is registered.
Benefits of choosing the right location
The right location lets you cut latency, reach region specific services, and present the exact IP your work needs. A Dedicated IP keeps a stable, exclusive address that avoids the bans and captchas common on shared IPs, and Multi-IP Browsing runs many separate identities from one device at once.
Surflare covers 120+ countries at the city level and works on every platform: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, browser extensions, and routers. On a router you can even assign a different location to each subnet, so devices on the same network exit from different regions at the same time. Connect up to 8 devices at once, and your privacy holds throughout: no logs, with session data kept in RAM only.
