Global Private Network

A Global Private Network (GPN) is a connection between all servers.com data centers without routing traffic via public networks. This service provides you with a network isolated from the internet, and removes the need for tunnels and a VPN.

Concepts

A Customer Private Network (CPN) is a /23 network that is allocated from the private pool 10.0.0.0/8 for GPN on your account. This network is securely isolated from other customers. A CPN is allocated to you after your first order of a dedicated server, and will be automatically configured in an OS and with the network devices during the server set-up. An IP address from the CPN block will be assigned to:

• the aggi interface of a dedicated server with link aggregation

• the ext1 interface of a dedicated server without link aggregation

• a separate virtual interface of a cloud server

After set-up, the server will be available to other hosts within the GPN through its private IP address. You can find this address on the details page of your server or by executing one of the following commands:

• ifconfig - for Linux

• ipconfig - for Windows

Use case

If you have several servers across different locations that communicate between each other, you can remove your expenses on public traffic. To do this, route your traffic to your GPN. Traffic will not be billed as it will go through the free private network.

Limitations

These are the limitations on GPN capacity to be aware of:

• The service is only available for dedicated and cloud servers, SBM and Kubernetes clusters

• The maximum bandwidth is up to 20Gbps for each dedicated server

Billing

The service is free.
