How to Redeploy a Cloud VPN Server

UTunnel’s Access Gateway simplifies the deployment of cloud VPN gateways while offering seamless server management and redeployment. When redeploying your cloud VPN server, you can switch to a different Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, update the server's location, or adjust the instance type to better suit your business needs.

The entire redeployment process takes just a few clicks, eliminating technical complexity. Whether you’re optimizing performance or adapting to new requirements, UTunnel’s Access Gateway ensures your cloud VPN remains flexible, efficient, and easy to manage.

⚠️ WARNING: Redeploying your cloud VPN server will result in a change to its IP address. If the previous server's IP address has been whitelisted elsewhere, be sure to update those settings with the new IP to ensure uninterrupted access.

This guide will help you redeploy a UTunnel VPN gateway with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Log in to your UTunnel account (Organization/Personal) and navigate to the Access Gateway section and click on it.

2. After the Access Gateway page is loaded, choose the UTunnel VPN gateway you want to redeploy.

3. Once the selected VPN gateway details are loaded, click on Redeploy Server from the options on the left pane.

4. To redeploy your UTunnel VPN gateway Cloud Provider, Cloud Location, and Instance Type from the respective drop-down menus. Click on the PROCEED button.

5. You will be taken to the next page, which lists the current and new server details. Type “CONFIRM” into the respective column and click on the PROCEED button to confirm the redeployment.

6. Please wait while the UTunnel Access Gateway server is getting redeployed.

7. Once the process is finished, you will see that your new VPN gateway has been successfully redeployed, and you will receive a new IP address.

If your newly selected VPN Gateway has higher subscription charges, the prorated charges for the current billing cycle will be billed right away. If, however, you choose a cloud VPN server with lower monthly charges, you will be issued a prorated credit note, which will be adjusted against your next month's invoice or could be utilized for a new subscription.
