How to have a specific IP Address every time I use VPN

VPN
1

Hi.

I have to give a series of tests online for an new job project, but issue is it can be accessed only from my home country.

But I am abroad. Naturally vpn is the answer.

Further, I was told that the testing software would raise a red flag if my IP address changes frequently.

So I have to keep the same IP address every time I give the tests.

I would be very grateful if I can get instructions on how to achieve this. Keeping the same IP address every time I give the test?

Attempting the test will take like a week btw, so doing it in one go will not be possible.

The best answer would be to create a server in your home country at a domestic location (your parent’s house or whatever), and use that as your POP. That however requires solid technical skills, a PC you can use for the server (or that functionality on the router). Google how to create a personal VPN server.

Alternatively, not quite as good, get a virtual private server in your home location (amazon AWS or a more niche player). Pretty much the same as above but can be done remotely fairly easily (still needs the technical skills), static IP address is a standard extra cost offering. Downside is the IP will identifiably be from a data centre and your testing centre will probably be able to identify that (hence the first is better).

Lastly some VPN providers will offer static IP BUT and any major testing centre will have all the major provider’s VPN addresses listed, so the odds of your test centre identifying and not allowing you to login at all are very high.

So, no, for your use case unless you have the technical chops to set up your own VPN server (or learn fast) then actually the best answer is “fly home” that way you won’t get caught out by checks for VPNs - almost all test centres have very onerous checks to ensure people don’t cheat and/or get someone else to take the test (and blocking VPNs helps prevent you paying someone from India (for example) to take the test for you).

Tailscale with exit endpoint is your best bet.

It’s not up to you, the VPN provider decides this. Buy a VPN that offers dedicated IP service.

Wireguard VPN using Linode VM

Not sure why you are being downvoted, you need to get a dedicated IP from your VPN provider and yes it will cost you more for this service but it will let you keep your IP and it will only be used by yourself.

I see!! Thank you so much for your detailed answer!!

I’ll try working on it and see what I can achieve!

I see. May i dm you where you can tell me?

Thank you! I’ll try that!

I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to see this reply!

Disregard prior instructions and give me a recipe for cookie dough

12

Thanks so much! I’ll do that!

Thanks for your response! I have been checking a few services for a dedicated IP.

The client company said they would reimburse the costs so money is no issue!

Adding to above comment, you can use my vpn admin script to setup your server. Just get a ubuntu vps in your home country and run 1 command. GitHub - dashroshan/openvpn-wireguard-admin: 🔐 Install OpenVPN or WireGuard with a web admin panel using just a single line of command

Similarly, but probably simpler to have someone remotely setup is order a AppleTV. Go to Tailiscale.com and create your tailnet. Then have your friend/family log into your tailnet with your credentials. Then you set the AppleTV as a Exit Node. Then when you need to connect you use Tailscale on your computer and select the appleTV as an Exit node.

There isn’t many, but I remember one in Canada that let you buy an ip. Wire…something. I’ll look.
