Give up the virtual firewall

Give up the virtual firewall

If you do not opt out of the firewall before the last day of the paid period, it will automatically renew and continue to be billed.

After disabling the firewall, the screen image rental charges will stop and all infrastructure protected by the firewall will be unavailable. To avoid an outage, reconfigure traffic to bypass the firewall in advance.

Cloud resources will continue to be charged based on the payment model and pricing of the cloud server or VMware-based private or public cloud. To avoid this, manually remove cloud resources that the firewall used — for example, server vCPU and RAM, public IP addresses.
