The private LAN is a virtual switch connected to your server's secondary interface.

It allows your servers to communicate at 100Mbps or 1Gbps, regardless of their location within the data centres.

You can remotely access your private LAN with your OpenVPN accounts.

Public IP addresses cannot be routed over this LAN.
