Anonymize your private networks (LAN)
Safeguard your applications and virtual machines (VMs) by enabling NAT Gateway as an automated gatekeeper. This allows you to connect private VMs to public repositories, for example, to perform software updates or to connect NTP servers.
The Managed NAT Gateway masks the source, providing another layer of protection against external compromise. All IP addresses generated during the process are transferred to public IPs using DNS.
Fully configurable: You can set multiple outbound rules (SNAT rules) on each NAT gateway to anonymize your IPs.
Add protection to your virtual data center
Use the IONOS Cloud Managed NAT Gateway as an additional security feature for your virtual data center. By completely separating internal and external network traffic and isolating your VMs, you are effectively preventing unauthorized data traffic. This provides you with a secure environment that streamlines the management of lists of authorized IP addresses. IPs can be dynamically managed and ports can be traceably assigned thanks to SNAT.
Effective backups: The IONOS Cloud Backup Service enables you to back up private VMs regularly, while avoiding public network accessibility.
Features at a glance
Protocols
Split traffic as needed or prioritize data packets. The IONOS Cloud NAT Gateway supports TCP, UDP and ICMP protocols.
Private LAN
Manually assign up to six private networks per NAT gateway.
Public IP addresses
Depending on your network demands, you can set up several public IP addresses and increase the availability of your virtual data centers.
Recovery mechanisms
If there's ever an outage, service is restored within minutes.
The next version of the NAT gateway will also be HA ready. Any existing systems will then automatically get this feature.
Full protection for your private networks
Use case
Reduce potential attack vectors
Our managed (source) NAT gateway reliably protects your infrastructure from unauthorized third-party access. By using a smaller number of public NICs, it reduces the number of potential attack vectors.
Plus, you have flexible control over which addresses are reachable from your network.
Use case
Set rules and connect private networks
Use case
Route processed data to a public address
