Updated May 8, 2026 A Public IP on Raff is a routable IPv4 or IPv6 address attached to a VM (or to a VPC’s Internet Gateway) so it can be reached from the public internet. Every VM you create comes with one auto-assigned IPv4 from the regional pool — free for as long as it’s attached. You can also reserve a static IP that stays yours across VM rebuilds and detaches, billed at $3/month for IPv4 or $1/month for IPv6. There are two distinct lifecycles for a public IP on Raff, and the difference matters:
Auto-assignedReserved
CostFree while attached$3/month (IPv4) or $1/month (IPv6), billed continuously
What happens when detachedReturns to the regional pool — anyone may get it nextStays yours, unattached, ready to re-attach to any VM
What happens when the VM is deletedReleased to the poolSurvives, stays yours
Use it forDefault VM internet accessStable address you reference in DNS / firewall rules / partner whitelists
If your VM was rebuilt every Tuesday, an auto-assigned IP would change every Tuesday. A reserved IP would stay the same forever.
Public IPs tab on the Networking page showing 9 IPs grouped under their VPCs, with Auto-assign IP and + Reserve IP buttons in the top right
The dashboard surfaces public IPs in two places: the Public IPs tab on the Networking page (account-wide list, where you reserve and auto-assign) and the Network tab inside each VM’s detail page (where you add, remove, or firewall that specific VM’s IPs).
