VPC NAT Gateway (outbound-only, GA November 2025)
Quake AI concept: NAT
- DO VPC NAT Gateway (POST /v2/vpc_nat_gateways) provides outbound internet egress (SNAT) for private Droplets only; it does not support inbound NAT (DNAT). Neutron supports both SNAT via router external gateway and DNAT via floating IP association.
- DO NAT Gateway is set as the VPC default gateway; all private Droplets automatically route outbound traffic through it. Neutron requires enable_snat: true on the router gateway; per-port floating IP assignment handles DNAT separately.
- Only one NAT Gateway can be set as the default gateway per VPC. Neutron supports multiple routers per project with independent SNAT configurations.
- DO NAT Gateway is billed hourly as a separate resource in addition to Droplet costs. Neutron SNAT is included in the router resource with no separate charge on Quake AI.
