Disabling VPC Border Protection

If your workloads are blocked by mistake, you can temporarily disable the VPC border firewall. The firewall does not check any traffic while it is disabled.

Impacts on Services

After the firewall is disabled, traffic at the VPC border will not be protected. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
