Managing VPS NAT Ports

A VPS NAT is reached through ports assigned to you on the shared NAT host. The Ports tab shows which ports you have and where they point inside your server.

Steps

1. Open your VPS NAT from the VPS NAT list and click Manage.
2. Go to the Ports tab to see every assigned port, its destination port inside the VPS, its protocol, and its status.
3. Reach a service from outside using the NAT hostname together with the assigned port, not the destination port.
4. If you need more ports than the ones listed, request them from support@sumopod.com with your VPS NAT name and the destination port and protocol you want.

Notes

• Every VPS NAT comes with one mapping for SSH: an assigned port forwarded to port 22. Don't remove it, or you'll lose SSH access.
• Port assignment is not self-service. The Add Port button is disabled and the tab shows Port assignment is not available for this VPS unless your plan has an extra port range — additional ports go through support.
• The assigned port is chosen from the NAT host's range and cannot be picked freely; only the destination port inside the VPS is yours to choose.
• A port mapping only forwards traffic. The service must actually be listening inside the VPS, and the OS firewall must allow it — see OS-level firewall.
• Port mappings survive a reset; the services behind them do not, and must be started again.
• Direct link: open your VPS NAT, then go to its Ports tab.
