A full suite of solutions

Vultr VPCs provide secure and customizable private virtual networks for Vultr cloud instances within a Vultr data center region. Traffic within a VPC is inaccessible from other networks and the public internet and does not count for bandwidth usage.

Vultr NAT Gateways

Vultr NAT Gateways provide a single exterior public IP address per VPC, allowing instance IP addresses to remain private (as Vultr VPC-Only Instances). By default, NAT Gateways disallow unrequested outside connections, ensuring inbound traffic is only permitted when explicitly configured. Vultr NAT Gateways excel for private workloads that require internet access but shouldn’t be reached by unknown connections.

FAQ

Can I specify a custom network address range for my VPC network?

Yes, you can specify a custom network address range to use in a VPC network. Use the RFC1918 private range for IPv4 networks 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16 to assign to your network.

Does VPC Support public network gateway services?

No, VPC does not support direct gateway services to public networks. Create a dedicated network gateway instance in your VPC network to perform routing and gateway services.

Can I connect my VPC network to my on-premise network?

Yes, you can connect your VPC network to your on-premises network by creating a VPN connection (such as through Wireguard, available on Vultr Marketplace as a one-click deployable application) to any instance attached to the network and apply the correct routing information to enable data transfer.

How many VPC networks am I limited to?

You are limited to 5 VPC networks per Vultr location.

Can I upload static routing information to a VPC network?

Yes, you can upload static routes to your VPC network. Access your VPC's management page and click Add Routes to add new routing information.

Does VPC support Multicast?

Yes, VPC supports Multicast. This enables efficient one-to-many communication within your virtual network infrastructure, allowing a single data stream to be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously.

How do Vultr NAT Gateways affect bandwidth charges?

Vultr NAT Gateways are bandwidth neutral. The included bandwidth allocation for each instance applies whether traffic to the internet egresses from the NAT Gateway or an instance’s Public IP.

Can I specify a custom network address range for my VPC network?

Yes, you can specify a custom network address range to use in a VPC network. Use the RFC1918 private range for IPv4 networks 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16 to assign to your network.
