Explains whether users can define custom IP address ranges when creating VPC networks on Vultr to avoid network conflicts
Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) create isolated networks within the cloud, providing full control over IP addressing, routing, and access policies. When designing a VPC, defining an IP address range that avoids conflicts with other networks and complies with private networking standards is essential.
In Vultr, a custom IPv4 network address range can be specified during VPC provisioning. Instead of selecting the Auto-assign IP range option, the network can be manually configured with an IP range from the private address spaces defined by RFC1918 (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16). Once the VPC is created, all instances launched within it use the defined subnet for internal communication, providing precise control over routing, security, and network isolation.
