Limits

Updated at:

This page lists the default quotas and performance limits for VPN Gateway resources, and identifies which quotas you can increase. Unless noted otherwise, all quotas apply per Alibaba Cloud account — not per region or virtual private cloud (VPC).

VPN gateways

ResourceDefault quotaAdjustable
VPN gateways per Alibaba Cloud account30Yes
Maximum bandwidth per VPN gateway1,000 Mbit/sNo
Maximum packets per second per VPN gateway120,000 (256 bytes per packet)No
Maximum connections per VPN gateway200,000No
The 30-gateway quota counts across all regions and VPCs in a single account. For example, an account can have 30 VPN gateways in one region, or spread across multiple regions — the total cannot exceed 30.
In some regions, the maximum bandwidth per VPN gateway is 500 Mbit/s. For the list of affected regions, see the Limits section in "Create and manage a VPN gateway."
Each connection is uniquely identified by a 5-tuple: source IP address, destination IP address, source port, destination port, and protocol. TCP, UDP, and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) connections all count toward the 200,000 limit.

To request a quota increase for VPN gateways, go to the Quota Management page or the Quota Center console. For instructions, see Manage SSL-VPN quotas.
