Awesome! Super helpful guys. I totally loved it

[@yevheniiherasymchuk]

Thanks a lot! DO has just recently released the App Platform and I think it would be great to show combinations of private networking between Droplets and Apps in one region.

Super confusing! You can't select your custom VPC when creating a "Kubernetes Cluster". You have to click on "Create Cluster" in der VPC detail section to apply it.

what should I do if I want to SSH into the droplet that's behind the nat instance?

Hello Rafael! Will I be charged for using VPC traffic? I have noted that on my dashboard my data packege is increasing when I start to use VPC. Thank you

Nice overview!. I'm having a problem when trying to configure a droplet as VPN gateway. I did follow these instructions with no success: www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/vpc/resources/droplet-as-gateway/ . I have a pfSense droplet (gateway) and a ubuntu 18.04 droplet (webserver). There is no way to get the webserver from internet. The pfSense firewall/NATsettings are configured to allow any connections to SSH, HTTP & HTTPS.
