Dedicated IP
Give your own agents and browser machines a home internet address for LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web and other sites that block data-centre addresses.
LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web and some other sites block the data-centre address that Laze agents share. A dedicated IP gives your own agents and browser machines a home internet address in a country you pick, for the sites you list. Everything else keeps the shared address.
Price
A dedicated IP costs 3 USD or 3 EUR a month, paid from the workspace's credits and charged each day it is on. Nothing is charged while the address is being bought. If the credits run out, Laze turns it off and the settings page says why.
Turn it on
Open Settings, Dedicated IP, pick a country and press Turn on. Or from the command line:
laze ip on nl
laze ipWhen an agent hits a block, such as LinkedIn answering status 999 or a captcha, it tells you what happened and offers a dedicated IP with its price. It turns one on only after you say yes, and only for you: a team agent keeps the shared address.
Getting a new address usually takes a few minutes. Laze sets fresh credentials on it and keeps them in your keychain in the vault. Agents never see them.
Domains
A new dedicated IP routes linkedin.com, licdn.com, whatsapp.com and whatsapp.net. A domain covers its subdomains, so whatsapp.com also covers web.whatsapp.com. Add or remove domains on the settings page or with:
laze ip domains add xing.com
laze ip domains remove whatsapp.net
laze ip domains resetA dedicated IP routes at most 50 domains.
Who uses it
| Agent or machine | Uses your dedicated IP |
|---|---|
| Your personal agents on Laze | Yes, for the listed domains |
| Your browser machines | Yes, for the listed domains |
| Your agents on your own machine | No, they use that machine's network |
| Team agents and other people's agents | No |
Owners and Admins see who has a dedicated IP, its country and its price with laze ip list, never its credentials.
Account risk
LinkedIn forbids automation in its terms, and WhatsApp may ban a personal number used by an agent. A dedicated IP makes blocks rarer, not impossible. The risk to your accounts on those sites is yours. For WhatsApp, a WhatsApp Business number is the safer choice.
The IP vendor
Laze buys the addresses from IPRoyal. Your traffic to the listed domains passes through their network, encrypted. IPRoyal is a subprocessor only for people who turn on a dedicated IP; see the list of subprocessors.
