the Global load balancers are really slow compared to direct download from droplet. In my case i see GLB making the experience 10x slower as compared to direct download from droplet. ie, like 1s vs 14sec to download a 10M file. Its should help the user experience, now make it worse.

Remove requirement for public IP. Not all droplets need to have a dedicated public IP address. Instead, allow us to have 1 gateway per VPC that the droplets can reach the Internet from.

It would be helpful to be able to block traffic from entire countries using the cloud firewall. 90% of the malicious traffic we get is from China, Russia, Brazil, etc. Being able to block at the firewall level would greatly reduce this malicious traffic.

Currently, DigitalOcean blocks all SMTP traffic on IPv6 droplets. This doesn't make much sense, since SMTP traffic can be sent over IPv4. DigitalOcean should at least have the option to enable SMTP traffic over IPv6 for certain customers (same as with IPv4).

Currently, VPS have a good download, for example, a speedtest with Widows can download up to 1 Giga, but an upload of 1 Mbps.

So far, load balancers only get an IPv4 and no IPv6. In practice, this means that load balancers cannot be used if you want to provide IPv6 connectivity. I would love to use this feature, but only if IPv6 was made available.

As you guys are testing IPv6 in the Singapore region, I highly recommend you give users a /64 each when IPv6 rolls out. This is proper practice, and gives users more flexibility in terms of address selection.

This would allow me to scale an app seamlessly in real time, instead of needing to carefully time it against DNS cache latency. After playing around with the new Load Balancers for a bit, It seems like an obvious extension. By the way, I'm really pleased with the feature. It seems very polished.

Easy solution to connect to your VPC to access resources which should not be exposed to the www.
