How to Delete a NAT Gateway Subscription

1 min readUpdated 23 October 2026

Decommission a Vultr NAT Gateway in a VPC to stop billing. Confirm no workloads need its egress or port forwarding.

Remove a NAT Gateway subscription from a VPC when it is no longer required. Deletion immediately decommissions the gateway and stops billing for that subscription. Ensure no workloads depend on its egress or port forwarding rules before proceeding.
