Hi all,
I rent a dedicated server where I installed an hypervisor and purchased

Of course not! Some host _on_your_subnet_ must be responsible for
forwarding the packages. And a route has to be set so your machine knows
where to send the packages beyond your local subnet to. That is the
gateway. It is just a shortcut to define the default route.
What you describe is what happens on home or office network. On
datacenter networks, it can be much different.
Look at this documentation:
