Verify whether an instance is VPC-only using the Vultr portal or API.
You can verify whether an instance is VPC-only by checking its networking configuration in the Vultr Customer Portal or by querying the instance details through the Vultr API.
In the Vultr Customer Portal, open the instance management page. VPC-only instances display a Private-only badge, indicating they were deployed without a public IP and rely entirely on the selected VPC for network connectivity. Because these instances do not have public IPs, the Settings page does not show public IPv4 or IPv6 address sections.
If you are using the Vultr API, retrieve the instance details using the Get Instance endpoint and inspect the vpc_only field. When this field is set to true, the instance is provisioned as VPC-only and does not have any public IP addresses assigned.
