Vultr Direct Connect

Direct Connect is available in all Vultr locations.

See our Direct Connect guide for details about our transport provider partners and network architecture examples.

We offer direct physical connections in our data centers, and also provide connectivity via PacketFabric and Megaport.

Yes, but you will only be able to connect to VPCs within the same locations as your physical connections.

Using Vultr Direct Connect provides:

• • Improved security by bypassing the public internet
• • Reduced latency and jitter
• • Higher and more consistent throughput
• • Better reliability and performance for enterprise applications
• • Dedicated bandwidth and traffic prioritization

A VPN uses the public internet to create secure tunnels, while Vultr Direct Connect uses a private, dedicated line for a direct connection – offering significantly better performance, lower latency, and enhanced security.

It is ideal for:

• • Enterprises running latency-sensitive applications
• • Organizations with hybrid cloud or multicloud architectures
• • Businesses needing secure data transfer to/from Vultr
• • High-volume data processing and storage workloads
• • SaaS providers and financial institutions

Direct Connect is available at select Vultr data centers globally. Availability can be confirmed through my.Vultr or by contacting sales.

Vultr Direct Connect supports scalable bandwidth options, typically ranging from 1 Gbps to 10+ Gbps, depending on customer requirements and location.

Request a Direct Connect session through theVultr dashboard or by reaching out to a Vultr representative for connection details and provisioning steps.

Yes. Vultr recommends establishing redundant connections to ensure high availability and failover protection in case of a single link failure.

Yes. Once established, a Direct Connect link can be used to access multiple Vultr services, including compute, storage, and Kubernetes environments, across supported regions.

Vultr Direct Connect provides dedicated, high-throughput links that reduce latency and improve data consistency during replication between Vultr and other cloud providers – critical for multi-cloud database mirroring and backup strategies.

Vultr Direct Connect supports both Layer 2 (point-to-point VLAN) and Layer 3 (routed IP) connectivity, enabling flexible integration with enterprise routing architectures, whether customers manage BGP sessions directly or prefer managed routing.

Vultr Direct Connect enables direct private access to VPCs, allowing secure, high-speed communication between on-premises networks and isolated cloud environments, supporting hybrid workloads such as cloud bursting or disaster recovery.

Vultr Direct Connect offers enterprise-grade SLAs and supports traffic prioritization via Quality of Service (QoS) policies, ensuring consistent performance for latency-sensitive and regulated applications like trading platforms or real-time analytics.
