Create an Internet Gateway to Allow Traffic to the Internet

Language:

(Optional) Follow this procedure to create an internet gateway to allow traffic to the internet.

Note - This procedure may not be required for certain customers. Some customers may opt to use a NAT gateway instead (but there can then be no inbound connectivity from the Internet until SSLVPN is connected.)

To create the internet gateway, perform the following steps in the your new compartment:

While viewing the VCN, under Resources, click Internet Gateways.
Note - For more information, refer to the relevant OCI documentation here.
Click Create Internet Gateway.
Enter the following:
Name: Enter a name for the internet gateway. The name doesn't have to be unique, and it cannot be changed later in the Console (but you can change it with the API). Avoid entering confidential information.

Create in Compartment: Leave as is.

Tags: Leave as is. You can add tags later if you want.
Click Create Internet Gateway.
Your compartment is then created and displayed on the Internet Gateways page. It's already enabled, but you must add a route rule that allows traffic to flow to the gateway.
