Networking

How servers in veloxa-us-east-1 are connected: a block of ports on the region's shared IPv4 address for every server, an optional dedicated IPv4 address, and isolation between servers.

Private Networks

Private networks are not available in veloxa-us-east-1 yet. Requests to create one there are refused.

Isolation between servers

Servers sit on a shared bridge on their host and are port-isolated from each other: one server cannot reach another over that bridge, whoever owns it.

Public IP Addresses

Every server is reached through a block of ports on the region's shared IPv4 address. This is port forwarding, not NAT to an address of your own: the first port of the block forwards to SSH (port 22), and you can forward the others to any port on the server:

ssh -p <port> root@<shared-ip>

For an IPv4 address of your own ($2/month), add a dedicated IPv4 address — see Shared & Dedicated IPv4 → and IP Addresses →. veloxa-us-east-1 does not provide IPv6 yet.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth is not metered or billed.
