Each side advertises IP prefixes for its own internal subnets and resources, to allow the other side to dynamically learn and update its internal routes.

11+
### What is a Public Gateway?
1012

1113
Public Gateways sit at the border of Private Networks. They provide services to deal with traffic entering and exiting the network (NAT), and SSH bastion. A Public Gateway can be attached to up to 8 Private Networks, and up to 50 Public Gateways are supported per [Organization](/organizations-and-projects/concepts/#organization).
1214

1315
The Public Gateway can be configured through the console or the [API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/public-gateway/).
1416

15-
## Does the Public Gateway require a public IPv4 address?
16-
17-
No. A public IPv4 address (aka. flexible IP) must be assigned to the Public Gateway at creation time, but you can detach it and delete it afterward if you do not require it to be publically accessible.

## Can my Instances and other resources access the internet via a Public Gateway without a public IP address?
20-
21-
Yes. The Public Gateway can advertise itself as the [default route to the internet](/public-gateways/concepts/#default-route) over the Private Network it is attached to, so that Instances and other resources can access the internet via the gateway. Resources attached to other Private Networks than the gateway's network in the VPC can [opt in](/vpc/how-to/manage-routing/#how-to-manage-default-route-scope) to receive its default route advertisement.
22-
Moreover, the Public Gateway supports [static NAT](/public-gateways/how-to/configure-a-public-gateway/#how-to-review-and-configure-nat) (aka. port forwarding), so that ingress traffic from the public internet can reach Instances on the Private Network. This works by mapping pre-defined ports of the public IP address of the gateway to specific ports and IP addresses on the VPC.

## What happened to static leases (DHCP reservations) when DHCP moved from the Public Gateway to Private Networks?
19+
### What happened to static leases (DHCP reservations) when DHCP moved from the Public Gateway to Private Networks?
2520

2621
On 12 July 2023, DHCP functionality moved from Public Gateways to Private Networks. See our [dedicated migration documentation](/vpc/reference-content/vpc-migration/) for full details.
2722

2823
Pre-existing static leases created via the Public Gateway were fully migrated and still work for your attached resources on a Private Network. Manual static lease configuration is still available via the API v1 and other developer tools, but this functionality is now deprecated, and does not exist in v2 of the API.
2924

3025
Read our [dedicated documentation](/public-gateways/reference-content/understanding-v2/) to learn how to put your gateway into IPAM-mode and replicate static DHCP reservation functionality with Scaleway IPAM.

### Why is my Public Gateway labeled as Legacy?
3328

3429
**Legacy** Public Gateways use a [workaround](/vpc/reference-content/vpc-migration/#public-gateways-and-vpc) to ensure compatibility with Scaleway's IPAM (**I** **P** **A**ddress **M**anagement) tool. IPAM acts as a single source of truth for the IP addresses of Scaleway resources
3530

3631
Your gateway is a legacy gateway if you created it prior to 17 October 2023 and you never recreated it in IPAM mode. Legacy gateways are now deprecated, as they are incompatible with v2 of the Public Gateways API. Such gateways must be [moved to IPAM mode](/public-gateways/reference-content/understanding-v2/) before October 2025 to ensure ongoing functionality.

57+
### Do I need a Public Gateway for each Availability Zone (AZ)?
5758

5859
VPC and Private Networks are both [regional](/public-gateways/concepts/#region-and-availability-zone), meaning they span all AZs across a given region. Even though Public Gateways are zoned and not regional, one Public Gateway attached to a regional Private Network is functionally enough, and will cover the whole region. That is to say a Public Gateway created in PAR-1 can serve Instances in PAR-2 and PAR-3, as long as they are all attached to the same PAR-region Private Network.

### Can my Instances and other resources access the internet via a Public Gateway without a public IP address?

Yes. The Public Gateway can advertise itself as the [default route to the internet](/public-gateways/concepts/#default-route) over the Private Network it is attached to, so that Instances and other resources can access the internet via the gateway.

## Usage and management
69+
70+
### How can I achieve High Availability (HA) networking when the Public Gateway is a zoned resource?
6171

6272
Notwithstanding the answer to the previous question, if you have a single Public Gateway in, for example, PAR-1, serving resources from other AZs on the same Private Network and there is an outage in the PAR-1 zone, the gateway will not be able to serve the resources from other unaffected AZs. We are working to improve and develop our Public Gateway product to counteract this.
6373

6474
In the meantime, if this is a concern, you could consider attaching several Public Gateways from different AZs to a single Private Network, each advertising a default route to the internet. As long as you are using a recent kernel (e.g. Ubuntu Jammy, Debian bookworm), the traffic will be spread across the different gateways. In the case of an outage in one AZ, you will only lose the gateway in that zone, and the others will continue to serve traffic.
