NAT Gateway

Give your Cloud Servers secure and seamless access to the internet with NAT Gateway. Download software updates, connect to external services, and enjoy uninterrupted connectivity – all without exposing your servers to the public internet.

And the best part? No hidden fees. At UpCloud, we’ve eliminated network transfer costs, so you can use our NAT Gateway without worrying about unexpected charges.

Key features

Easy setup, fully managed

Instant integration with private networks

Effortlessly connect your NAT Gateway to any SDN Private Network and provide instant internet access to all your Cloud Servers. Routing tables are automatically updated via DHCP, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

Enhanced security

NAT Gateways reinforces your network security by permitting only returning traffic initiated from your private network. This eliminates the need to expose each server with a public IP address, reducing your attack surface. Managing firewall rules becomes simpler with a single external IP address on the NAT Gateway.

One gateway, multiple networks

Connect a single NAT Gateway to multiple SDN Private Networks to simplify management. This allows you to efficiently provide internet access to all your Cloud Servers across different environments, streamlining your network architecture and reducing overhead.

Built for reliability

NAT Gateways are designed for uninterrupted service. Our standard plan deploys two instances in a high-availability configuration. If the active instance fails, the standby instance immediately takes over, ensuring continuous connectivity for your Cloud Servers.

Wide-ranging compatibility

Seamlessly integrates with various environments. Utilise NAT Gateways with your Cloud Servers in public and private cloud deployments and with private clusters on Managed Kubernetes.

Scalability

Up to 250,000 simultaneous sessions and 1 Gbit/s bandwidth ensures robust performance even under heavy loads. Standard, Production, and Advanced plans further enhance functionality by adding VPN support, which provides secure tunnels to external networks.

No surprise network transfer fees

UpCloud’s zero-cost egress initiative provides no unexpected costs for your network transfer.
