Secure and control the traffic to your applications with private networking, traffic filtering, and load balancing.
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface for collections of DigitalOcean resources. VPC networks provide a more secure connection between resources because the network is inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks.
Restrict traffic with network-based, stateful firewalls for Droplets.
Manage DNS for Droplets, DigitalOcean Load Balancers, and non-DigitalOcean resources all in the same place.
Compared to IPv4, IPv6 provides a larger address space, increased security, and other benefits. Enable IPv6 on a Droplet to gain access to its 16 configurable IPv6 addresses.
Load balancers distribute traffic across pools of backend resources for high availability setups.
DigitalOcean Reserved IPs are publicly-accessible static IP address that you can assign to Droplets and instantly remap to other Droplets in the same datacenter.
DigitalOcean DDoS Protection provides free, always-on protection from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks for applicable DigitalOcean resources.
Partner Network Connect now supports traffic to and from VPC-native DOKS clusters.
Partner Network Connect is now in general availability. Create a partner attachment to establish high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections directly between DigitalOcean VPC networks and other public cloud providers or on-premises datacenters.
Network load balancers are now in general availability. Network load balancers are regional load balancers that route traffic at the TCP/UDP transport level. Read How to Create Regional Load Balancers to get started.
