Overview
In Doprax, changing the IP address of your Hetzner VM is a seamless process handled automatically by the platform. On the VM panel under the Network section, each IP address (IPv4 and IPv6) has a green “Change IP” button beside it. When this button is clicked, a confirmation prompt ensures the user truly intends to change the IP address. Upon confirmation, the platform automatically shuts down the VM, unassigns the current IP address, assigns a new one, and restarts the VM with the updated IP. Additionally, Doprax updates any associated automatic subdomains to point to the new IP address, ensuring that your services continue to be accessible without further manual adjustments.
