Can I add an old Droplet to a VPC without changing its IP address?
Older Droplets that did not have VPC enabled prior to October 2020 cannot be added to a VPC network without changing its IP address.

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface for collections of DigitalOcean resources. VPC networks are inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks, and traffic on them doesn’t count against bandwidth usage. You can link VPC networks to each other using VPC peering connections.
