This document describes IPSec VPN and SSL VPN billing items and pricing.

The price information presented in the tables of this document is for reference only. When it is inconsistent with the price information on the purchase page, the later shall prevail.

The bandwidth of the VPN gateway currently only supports adjustments within certain bandwidth ranges. Plan your service needs in advance.

Pay-as-you-go: Upgrades and downgrades within specific bandwidth ranges (i.e., [5, 100] Mbps, [200, 1,000] Mbps) are supported, but those across these ranges are currently not supported.

The 1,000 Mbps SSL VPN gateway and the 3,000 Mbps IPSec VPN gateway currently do not support upgrades and downgrades. Plan your bandwidth needs in advance.

For IPSec VPN, the customer gateways are free of charge. For SSL VPN, the VPN servers and clients are free of charge.

Private network VPNs do not incur traffic charges from the VPN gateway to the dedicated line gateway.

IPSec VPN supports the traffic-based billing.

Traffic-based billing contains two parts, 

 (hourly billing, with a minimum usage of one hour). The private VPN includes only fees for gateway instances.

For details regarding fees for gateway instances, see the table below:

For details on public network traffic fees, see the 

VPN gateway is your target gateway on Tencent Cloud side. The traffic flowing through the VPN gateway incurs fees. The gateway fee is billed by traffic.
The traffic here refers to the outbound traffic of the VPN gateway, which is also called the downstream traffic.

Billing Example - Usage period less than one hour

Assume a user purchases 50 Mbps VPN gateway in Beijing with the bill-by-traffic option and uses a total of 5 GB traffic between 07:00:00-07:59:59, then at 08:00:00, the user will be required to pay the following fees:

Traffic fee: Traffic unit price (0.12 USD/GB for Beijing) × Traffic Usage (in GB) = 0.12 × 5 = 0.6 USD

Gateway fee: Gateway unit price (0.074 USD/hour for Beijing) × Gateway usage period (hourly billing, at least one hour is charged) = 0.074 × 1 = 0.074 USD

Total price = Traffic fee + Gateway fee = 0.6 USD + 0.074 USD = 0.67 USD

SSL VPN is a pay-as-you-go service. It contains three parts of fee: 

 (hourly billing, with a minimum usage of one hour), and 

 (hourly billing, with a minimum usage of one hour).

For gateway fee details, see the following table:

For the SSL connection fee, see the following table:

SSL connection fees are billed on a cumulative tiered basis, with different tiers corresponding to different prices. Resources exceeding a tier are charged according to the price of the next tier. This is a fixed resource charge, and the cost is related to the actual number of SSL connections used. For instance, if you opt for 100 SSL connections at the time of purchase but only use 50, you will need to pay connection fees for the 50 SSL connections used. As SSL connections currently do not support quota adjustments, it is advisable to carefully plan your SSL connection needs in advance to prevent resource wastage.

For example, if the number of SSL connections exceeds 10, the excess will be charged at the second-tier price. Suppose you have 20 SSL connections; the SSL connection fees would be calculated as 10 

 For 200 Mbps and 500 Mbps, up to 500 connections are supported. For 1000 Mbps, up to 1,000 connections are supported.

Assume a user purchases a 50 Mbps pay-as-you-go VPN gateway with 5 SSL connections in Beijing. During 07:00:00 to 07:29:59, the traffic usage is 5 GB. The bill for the next hour (08:00:00 to 08:59:59) is calculated as below:

Gateway fee: Gateway unit price (0.074 USD/hour for Beijing) × Gateway usage period (in hour) = 0.074 × 1 = 0.074 USD

SSL connection fee: Connection unit price (0.003 USD/connection/hour for Beijing) × Number of SSL connections × Usage period (in hour) = 0.003 × 5 × 1 (Usage less than one hour is rounded up to one hour) = 0.015 USD

Total price = Traffic fee + Gateway fee + SSL connection fee = 0.6 USD + 0.074 USD + 0.015 USD = 0.69 USD
