Managing the network ​

This page describes a server's network settings: IP addresses, floating IPs and port forwarding.

Network overview ​

Open the desired server and go to the Network section. There you'll find:

  • traffic limit, primary IPv4 and IPv6 address with the associated gateway
  • 30-day traffic usage (incoming, outgoing, total, bandwidth cost) plus history charts
  • a table of all IP addresses assigned to the server

Editing an IP address ​

  1. Find the desired address in the IP table.
  2. Click Edit to set a PTR (reverse DNS) record.
  3. Save the change.

Toggling the IP whitelist ​

Use the Toggle IP whitelist action to enable or disable a single IP address for the server's whitelist.

Floating IPs ​

A floating IP is an additional IP address that can be flexibly assigned to and removed from a server.

Assigning a floating IP ​

  1. Open the Floating IPs section of the server.
  2. Click Assign floating IP at the top right.
  3. Confirm the prompt.

Removing a floating IP ​

  1. Find the floating IP to remove in the table.
  2. Click Remove.
  3. Confirm the prompt.

Port forwarding ​

Note

Port forwarding is only available if it's enabled for the given server. If it isn't, the Port forwarding section shows a corresponding notice.

Creating a forwarding rule ​

  1. Open the Port forwarding section of the server.
  2. Click Create port forwarding.
  3. Enter the following:
    • Source port (optional) – a port from the range 49152–65535; if left empty, one is assigned randomly
    • Destination address (required) – one of the server's private IP addresses
    • Destination port (required) – a port between 1 and 65535
  4. Save the rule.

Editing or deleting a forwarding rule ​

Use the Edit or Delete actions on the desired row in the port forwarding table. Deleting requires confirming a prompt.

Follow-up checks ​

After a change, check:

  • that the server remains reachable on the affected addresses and ports
  • that reverse DNS records resolve correctly
  • that a newly assigned floating IP has been configured correctly on the server

Common issues ​

Service not reachable via port forwarding ​

Possible causes:

  • the source or destination port doesn't match the configuration inside the server
  • the destination address isn't a valid private IP address of the server
  • port forwarding isn't enabled for the server

Floating IP doesn't work after assignment ​

Possible cause:

  • the floating IP hasn't been configured inside the server (operating system) yet
