Is a Dedicated IP VPN a Good Solution for My Use Case?

Questions Forum
1

I own a small business with clients and leads in the US and Canada. Most of my employees and subcontractors are in Asia, specifically India and Pakistan.

I’ve been having issues where emails, web logins, etc., coming from my team’s India and Pakistan IP addresses are flagged as spam by North American email servers or blacklisted/denied by North American websites.

I tried buying VPN accounts for my team to use, but it actually made things worse. Now, my team’s emails and logins are coming from known VPN provider IP addresses, which seem even more suspicious than the South Asian IPs.

My next idea is to stop using pooled, known VPN IPs and instead buy a block of dedicated US VPN IPs for my employees.

However, I’m reaching the limits of my technical knowledge here. Is this idea a good one, or should I consider something else?

The main issue is that North American servers might flag your team’s location as a risk, causing emails to be marked as spam or logins to be blocked. To address this:

  • Dedicated US VPN IPs:
    • Pros: Helps conceal your location, reducing spam filter triggers.
    • Cons: Can be costly and may still face blacklisting risks.
  • Email Authentication:
    • SPF: Verifies your emails come from authorized servers.
    • DKIM: Adds a digital signature to increase credibility.
    • DMARC: Sets policies for handling emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks.
