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

VPNs are billed on a yearly/monthly or pay-per-use basis. You need to pay for both the VPN gateway bandwidth/traffic 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 one 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 the additional connection.
   

   • The IP address of the VPN gateway will not be billed.
   • A VPN gateway cannot share a bandwidth with an EIP bound to an ECS.
