What is an Australian IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number that identifies your device when you’re online. An IP address is expressed as a set of four numbers, with each number ranging from 0 - 255. An example address might be 123.45.6.78.

An Australian IP address is one assigned to a server in Australia. There are almost 60 million unique Australian IP addresses, so there's no specific range of numbers that indicate an Australian IP address.

Because your IP address is associated with your location and ISP, changing your IP address with a VPN gives you more control over what apps and websites know about you and makes you more anonymous online.

Why get an IP address in Australia?

Shield your browsing data from your ISP

Australian law requires all telecoms to retain user metadata for up to two years and provide it on demand to government agencies. You can use a VPN to shield your IP address and encrypt your web traffic so that your browsing data is hidden from your ISP and other third parties.

ExpressVPN does not keep activity logs or connection logs, and our TrustedServer technology is engineered to ensure all data is wiped from servers with every reboot.

Stay secure on public Wi-Fi

Using the internet over unsecured, public Wi-Fi networks puts you at risk of specific types of cyberattacks and other criminal acts. Whether you're traveling, using a co-working space, or just at your local cafe, ExpressVPN keeps hackers and snoops at bay when you need to connect to public Wi-Fi.

Access censored websites with ExpressVPN and download as much as you want.

Avoid ISP throttling

Your internet service provider (ISP) can deliberately reduce or slow down your bandwidth, especially at peak times or if you live in a rural area. Connecting to a VPN allows you to avoid content or location-based throttling.

Choose from server locations across Australia or in 105 countries around the world. Stream content quickly and safely, and enjoy unlimited VPN bandwidth.

Enjoy the content you want: streaming TV and music on a laptop.

Stream Australian TV

Stream AFL, NRL, cricket, Network Ten's 10 play, 7plus, 9Now, SBS, Netflix, and more* with ExpressVPN’s robust server network. Watch Australian TV online with privacy without bandwidth caps or throttling.

Reduce lag

Shorter connection routes between you and the server you're using can mean less overall lag. Instead of connecting to a server on the other side of the world, take advantage of our robust server network and select the VPN server closest to you for optimal speed.

Use a VPN to get an Australian IP address

Love this app. I travel extensively around the world and this app helps me keep in touch.
Whatever site I go to, they have no clue where I am located or who I am, and I like it that way.
