How to manage IP addresses, reverse DNS and network interfaces from VirtFusion panel
View Network Information
- Access VirtFusion panel
- Select your server
- Go to Network
Here you find:
- Primary IP (IPv4) and gateway
- IPv6 address (if included in plan)
- Netmask and subnet information
- MAC address of interface
- Additional IPs assigned to server
Configure Reverse DNS (PTR record)
Reverse DNS is mainly important for servers sending email. Guide: Reverse DNS
From panel:
- Go to Network
- Click IP to configure
- Look for Reverse DNS or PTR Record field
- Enter desired hostname (es.
mail.example.com) - Save
Hostname you enter must have an A record pointing to your server IP. Example: if you set mail.example.com as PTR, then mail.example.com must resolve to your server IP.
Additional IPs
If your plan includes or allows adding additional IPs:
- Go to Network
- Click Add IP or Request Additional IP
- Follow wizard
After assignment, you'll need configure IP also in operating system. Guide: IP and Network Configuration

Some technical network info like gateway or DNS for static configuration is visible in Network tab of panel. If you can't find it, contact support.
Reset Network Configuration
If you corrupted network config and can't connect anymore:
- Use VNC Console to access server
- Fix network config file (guide: IP and Network Configuration)
