Support for private networks

davemcl

We have servers on providers like DigitalOcean but also within the same cluster we have app role servers on a Proxmox cluster within a NAT'ed network.
Support for servers to communicate directly over the private network would be great for deploying backup roles etc.

We have tried to move large sites between VPS that are in the same data center, and we believe that using private IPs could improve the transfer speed. Do you think this could work?

SharedGrid

alenguav If both the VPS are in the same data center with public IP's then they are going to be routed through the internal network anyway, switching them to private IP's isn't going to improve transfer speeds.

Does your VPS' run on your own hypervisor or do you rent the VPS'? It sounds like either host saturation or elsewhere along the network.

maybe.. but some providers (eg aws) may charge for traffic traversing the public ip's regardless of if it ever leaves the datacentre or not, whilst the same data sent entirely between private ip's would not incur any costs.
that's something that may need to be taken into account as well.
