How to get an Australian IP address
The easiest way to get an Australian IP address is to use a VPN—it's quick and simple, and it increases your online privacy and security by encrypting your traffic and enabling you to browse anonymously.
Other common solutions for acquiring an Australian IP address are:
- Tor Browser
- Smart DNS
- Proxy servers
You can still obtain an Australian IP address using Tor Browser, Smart DNS, or proxies; however, these solutions have drawbacks. For example, you can't easily select an IP address for a specific country using Tor Browser, and Smart DNS and proxies aren't designed to protect your privacy, so you don't benefit from the strong encryption offered by VPNs and Tor.
Why get an Australian IP address?
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 across Australia, using a co-working space, or checking your emails at your local cafe, ExpressVPN keeps hackers and snoops at bay when you need to connect to public Wi-Fi.
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.
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 server network and use Smart Location to select the VPN server closest to you for optimal speed.

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.
Use a VPN to get an Australian IP address
A VPN reroutes your internet traffic through a VPN server in a country of your choice—like Australia—so apps and websites will think you are located in that country.

What is the best way to get an Australian IP address?
The best way to get an Australian IP address is to use a VPN—it's quick and easy, and it increases your online privacy and security by encrypting your traffic and enabling you to browse anonymously.
Other ways to get an Australian IP address include the Tor browser, Smart DNS, and proxies; however, these solutions have drawbacks. For example, you can't easily select an IP address for a specific country using the Tor browser, while Smart DNS and proxies aren't designed to protect your privacy, so you don't benefit from the strong encryption offered by VPNs and Tor.
Is it safe to use a VPN to get an Australia IP address?
Yes! Using a VPN is not only a safe way to get an Australian IP address, it’s also the safest way to be online in any situation.
Using a VPN shields your online activity from your ISP, Wi-Fi operators, governments, and other third parties. This can reduce the amount of targeted advertising you receive and prevent others from profiting from your browsing history.
Is it legal to use a VPN to get an Australian IP address?
Yes, it's legal to use a VPN in Australia and in most countries around the world.
Can I get an Australian IP address from a specific city?
You sure can! ExpressVPN has server locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. Just select your preferred city from the dropdown menu when connecting to ExpressVPN.
Can I use an Australian IP address to access Australian websites or stream TV shows and live sport?
Yes! A VPN is essential for securely streaming your favourite TV shows anywhere—whether you're at school, work, or using public Wi-Fi. Stream TV, movies, and live sports like AFL, NRL, cricket, and the Australian Open in blazing-fast HD.
If you’re travelling, connect to a VPN to access your favourite channels securely on any network. ExpressVPN sends your traffic through a private and encrypted tunnel, allowing you to watch while keeping your data safe from prying eyes while abroad.
If you’re watching at home, use a VPN to bypass ISP throttling. ExpressVPN makes your internet traffic more anonymous, so your ISP can’t identify and slow down your streams. You little ripper!
Will my personal information be stored if I use an Australian IP address?
An IP address is not considered personal information in Australia, and the country has passed bills relating to surveillance and online privacy that might alarm some internet users. If you're concerned about your personal information being stored, using a VPN is the best way to increase your online privacy.
A VPN can mask your real IP address, protect your internet traffic, and keep your identity private by connecting to a VPN server in the location of your choice. Without a VPN, third parties such as ISPs, government agencies, and hackers can see your IP address, which reveals information such as the country and city you're in.
