I mainly just wanted to make sure I am not missing something here before I cancel. There are a few things that drive me crazy with Proton. Almost all of which would be fixed with a dedicted IP. The competitors offer dedicated IP add on for $3 to $5 a month depending on provider. Proton is $39.90 a month!!! 10x the price. It seems so outlandish I am making sure I have it correct. So, is that correct?
A dedicated IPv4 is usually costing ~7-12€/m for Proton (and everyone else), but you usually have to get entire subnets, 254 IPs. If they’re only renting out ¼ then they don’t make any profit at 40€/m.
When will they fully support IPv6 already on all exit nodes? That will make the price of providing everyone who wants, with a static IPs practically 0.
lol how are you paying 40 dollars a month. It’s only 10 bucks a month and for the entire stack.
I am paying 2,5€ per month for proton. What the fuck are you talking about?
why tf are you paying $40/mo for proton?
There are tons of reasons for a dedicated ip, like if your ISP manages the network with CGNAT
Hmm will check out the VPS option.
Maybe Proton works differently. I was with Surfshark and their pool of IPs kept me out of several services I use. Without those services it made the VPN worthless to me. I switched to their dedicated IP and had no issues after that. Honestly I don’t care about being anonymous, I care about where the IP is located more than anything. When I travel abroad, especially to SE Asia, I cannot access services I use due to location.
BTW Surfshark is crazy slow, that is why I switched to something else.
I am not paying $40 a month.
I pay the same as you. I wasn’t talking about their regular service. I was talking about their dedicated IP service which is 10X the price of any competitor.
The reading comprehension
Then why did you say in your post that it’s 40?
missing something here before I cancel.
and
Proton is $39.90 a month!!! 10x the price.
Well they are blocking both. For example, I can get into my Google AdWords account and Facebook ads account no matter if a foreign IP or not. However, if I use Proton it blocks them. If I use a foreign IP I cannot get into QuickBooks online. With a US IP, even a VPN one, I am fine. Shopify is the same as QBO. Banks and credit card companies generally don’t like the foreign IP but don’t mind the VPN ones It’s a real mixed bag that’s annoying as I travel a ton. I am a digital nomad. The only solution I have found that covers them all is a dedicated Surfshark IP address, however their speeds are super bad and not really usable. Not really sure what do to at this point. I checked out the VPS idea with AWS. I found a YT video talking about running that cloud based as a private VPN basically. Maybe I will try that
I didn’t say their service is $40, I said their dedicated IP address add on is $40. 
You missed the whole context about that being for an dedicated IP address on service
So did everybody else apparently.
If by “everyone else” you mean “a handful of people with poor reading skills”, then sure.
go bother someone else
