Stitching services together over the private VLAN
10 Gbps internal networking, zero egress cost, and the patterns that work well.
3 min read
Every Vintony VPS has two network interfaces: a 1 Gbps public IPv4/IPv6, and a 10 Gbps private VLAN that's customer-isolated. The private VLAN is where production traffic between your own services should live.
Configuration is automatic on our default images — `eth1` (or `enp1s0` on newer kernels) comes up with a 10.0.x.x address allocated from your customer-private range. Egress between any two of your services on the private VLAN is free; the public interface is metered.
Common pattern: web tier on the public interface (TLS terminated by us), application tier on the private VLAN only. The application servers never need a public IP; we don't charge for the IPv4 saving.
Cross-region private networking is available on Business and Enterprise VPS tiers; we tunnel it through our backbone with sub-50ms latency between major-region pairs.
