What Will I Be Charged for Creating a VPN? Will I Be Charged for VPN Gateway IP Addresses?

VPN support the yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes, and are billed by the gateway bandwidth and VPN connections.

VPN gateways can be billed by traffic or bandwidth.

1. A yearly/monthly VPN gateway can only be billed by bandwidth. The price of a yearly/monthly VPN gateway includes the price of the VPN connections that can be created for the gateway and the bandwidth price.
2. The billing cycle of the pay-per-use billing mode is 1 hour. If you choose a pay-per-use VPN gateway, a VPN connection must be purchased together with the VPN gateway. The price includes the VPN gateway bandwidth or traffic price and the price of the VPN connection created together with the gateway. If you create another connection for the gateway, you will be charged for this connection.
