Comprehensive documentation on Vultr's networking features, including reserved IPs, VPC networks, connectivity options, and related network infrastructure configurations.


Reserved IPs in Vultr are not free but cost $0.004 per hour ($3/month) for maintaining a static IP address.
Reserved IPs can only be attached to one instance at a time, providing a static public address that can be reassigned within the same region.
VPC networks can connect to on-premises networks, enabling secure hybrid cloud deployments between cloud workloads and private data center resources.
Vultr Firewall allows creating predefined service-based rules for common protocols without manually specifying port numbers.
Vultr DNS supports creating subdomains through standard DNS record management for organizing and routing traffic to different services.
A networking technique that announces the same IP prefix from multiple locations to improve latency, redundancy, and traffic distribution
DNS lacks direct zone import functionality, requiring manual record creation for domain management
Explains whether you can manage DNS records in Vultr without changing your domains nameservers to Vultr's DNS servers
Vultr doesn't allow selecting specific IP addresses for reservation; Reserved IPs are only available through automatic allocation or by converting existing instance IPs.
Explains whether users can define custom IP address ranges when creating VPC networks on Vultr to avoid network conflicts
Explains whether users can manually configure static routing information for directing network traffic within Vultr VPC environments
Explains how to use customer-owned IP addresses with Vultr instances through BGP sessions and routing coordination
Cloud Networking enables secure hybrid and multi-cloud architectures by connecting Vultr infrastructure with on-premises networks and other cloud providers.
Reserved IPs at Vultr do not expire and remain allocated to your account until explicitly deleted
Firewall operates at the network level, filtering traffic before it reaches your instance, working independently from but complementing software-based firewalls running on your servers.
Vultr DNS supports DNSSEC, providing cryptographic signatures to protect domain records against spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
Firewall only filters incoming traffic to instances, not outgoing traffic from them
Vultr offers BGP sessions for customers to establish dynamic routing between their networks and Vultr's infrastructure.
VPC supports multicast for efficient one-to-many or many-to-many data transmission, ideal for streaming media and real-time data distribution.

A guide explaining how to set up reverse DNS (PTR records) for Vultr instances, which maps IP addresses to hostnames for email server validation and other services.
Guide to resolving DNS configuration issues when primary name servers at the domain registrar dont match authoritative name servers
A guide to diagnosing and resolving connectivity problems caused by conflicts between Vultr Firewall rules and instance-level firewall software
Vultr's BGP session support enables advanced network routing with custom traffic path management and redundancy for enterprise-grade networking control.
Vultr's cloud networking infrastructure enables granular network isolation and strict access controls through microsegmentation and zero trust security principles.
Explains how Vultr manages cloud network performance to ensure fast, reliable application communication across servers and regions
Firewall groups allow multiple instances to share centralized network traffic rules for consistent security management.
Vultr's cloud networking implements multi-layered security to protect customer data and workloads from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Comprehensive cloud networking solution offering global connectivity, private networks, and scalable infrastructure without physical hardware limitations
Dedicated private network connection offering consistent low latency, enhanced security, and predictable performance compared to public internet routing
A guide explaining the BGP communities supported by Vultr for controlling route propagation and traffic management in network configurations
A comparison of cloud networking versus traditional networking architectures, highlighting key differences in design, scalability, and management approaches
Vultr limits customers to 5 VPC networks per location, each with its own custom IP range.
