Managed NAT Gateway

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.
Highly available The Managed NAT Gateway is provided redundantly. If there are interruptions in one component, the second component takes over the maintenance of the service. In the background, the service automatically restores the redundancy level.

Full protection for your private networks

Use cases for your IONOS CLOUD Managed NAT Gateways.
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
Apply security patches or perform an operating system update by securely connecting your private networks to the NAT gateway. Define rules to control or limit access to public addresses.
Use case
Route processed data to a public address
Protect your business data and securely send server backups to a remote location. Our managed service allows you to upload processed data to dedicated public addresses (e.g. IONOS CLOUD Object Storage) as well as download new jobs.
