VNS3 NATe

VNS3 NATe provides Network Address Translation (NAT) functions at a significantly cheaper price than the cloud provider alternatives. NATe allows instances in a private cloud subnet to connect to services outside your VPC/VNET but prevents external services/devices from initiating a connection with your instances. Replace your existing NAT Gateways to save money, increase control, and have access to better support.

Same NAT, Reduced Cost

If you use NAT Gateways, you are overpaying. Cloud providers charge a Data Processing fee (typically $0.045 / GB) on top of the already expensive runtime cost for the NAT Gateway. It’s a cloud tax that you don’t have to pay with VNS3 NATe.

Be a FinOps Hero and Reduce Your Cloud Bill

Each cloud vendor charges for every GB of data processed by your NAT Gateway. If your network sees a lot of data, this can get expensive. With VNS3, you only pay for the virtual machine runtime.
