# Shared APNs

## **Shared APN**: m2m.telus.iot

**The Shared APN allows devices to connect to the internet.** There is no restriction on which internet addresses your IoT device can connect to. If you want to limit the internet access to certain destination IP addresses, you will need a Private APN ([learn more about Private APN](/iot-console-1/access-points-names-apns/private-apns.md))

**IoT devices on the Shared APN will have NAT’d IPs**, and cannot be addressed directly from the internet. To receive individual (static or dynamic) private IPs that can be addressed through a VPN tunnel, you will need a Private APN ([learn more about Private APN](/iot-console-1/access-points-names-apns/private-apns.md))

**Public (static or dynamic) IP addresses** are **not** available through the TELUS Business Marketplace at this time.
