Changing the Billing Mode of a VPN Gateway from Pay-Per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
3. Click Service List and choose Networking > Virtual Private Network.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Virtual Private Network > Enterprise – VPN Gateways.
5. Locate a pay-per-use VPN gateway, and choose More > Change Billing Mode in the Operation column.
   • You can change the billing mode of the VPN gateway and bound EIPs to yearly/monthly simultaneously. Alternatively, you can only change the billing mode of the VPN gateway to yearly/monthly, and retain the billing mode of the bound EIPs as pay-per-use.

     Only when the EIPs bound to a VPN gateway are billed by bandwidth in pay-per-use mode, you can change the billing modes of the VPN gateway and EIPs to yearly/monthly simultaneously.

   • Billing formula change

     Assume that X VPN connection groups are in use before the billing mode is changed to yearly/monthly. Then, after the billing mode is changed, the billing formula changes to: Fee of the VPN gateway + Fee of (X – 10) VPN connection groups.

6. In the Change Billing Mode dialog box, click OK.
7. Confirm the VPN gateway information and set a renewal duration.
8. Click Pay.
9. On the payment page, confirm the order information, select a coupon or discount, and select the payment method.
10. Click Pay.
    

    Changing the billing mode of a VPN gateway from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly will not affect your services.
