Setting up your dedicated IP

Once you have set up the ExpressPN app on your Android device:

1. On the VPN tab, tap Add-ons.
2. In the Dedicated IP widget, tap Setup.
3. Tap Set Up Dedicated IP.
4. Choose a VPN location for your dedicated IP and tap Continue.
   Note: The location you choose is fixed for the duration of your add-on. You cannot change it after setup.
5. Set your access code. Enter your new access code twice, then tap Continue.
6. Tap Copy to clipboard to save your access code, then tap Done.
   Note: This code is the only way to access your dedicated IP on other devices, so we recommend setting a strong, unique code and keeping it somewhere safe, like on ExpressKeys. If you lose your access code, ExpressVPN cannot retrieve it (even with your authorization) and you will lose access to your dedicated IP.
7. Look out for a notification on the app telling you that your dedicated IP is ready to use. This may take up to 20 minutes.
8. Select your dedicated IP from the list of VPN locations to connect to it.
