Can I Create Service-Based Rules Using Vultr Firewall?

Updated on 20 November, 2025

Vultr Firewall allows creating predefined service-based rules for common protocols without manually specifying port numbers.


Yes, Vultr Firewall supports service-based rules. Service-based rules use predefined profiles for common protocols and ports, such as HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, or MySQL, so you do not need to manually specify port numbers.

When configuring a firewall rule, select the desired service from the Protocol drop-down. Vultr automatically applies the appropriate Port and Protocol settings for the service, streamlining rule creation and reducing the risk of misconfiguration.
