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 nice if we could have some sort of IDS/IPS product that you can attach in front of a droplet or load balancer that you can use to protect traffic from external/internet networks. You have a nice tutorial for configuring all of this but it requires a separate droplet that doesn't auto-scale based on traffic like your load balancer solution does. Ideally there should be a gateway that you can configure and attach load balancers or droplets to it with the option to restrict traffic only through the gateway. A public facing ip can be assigned to the gateway along with DNS information. Then have the option of assigning a logging system to it. For example, sending to your partner betterstack, or storing logs within your Spaces. It could also be a hybrid HAProxy/Suricata/Snort type of product.

Private networking is currently limited to droplets running in the same datacenter. It would be great if it would be possible for the droplets to connect to the internal IP's in other datacenters too!

Please add feature to allow direct access from server to load balancer in same VPC without passing through public Internet. For example, assume all servers and load balancer are in the same VPC: Server A => Load Balancer => Server B or Server C

Add an option in the configuration so the load balancer listens on an ip on the private VPC, therefore request made to it via private ip range will be forwarded to the destination also on the private ip range.

In lieu of not providing an option to have a load balancer on the private VPC, provide option to point a reserved/floating IP to a droplets private IP as oppose to it's public IP

For example, NYC1 -> SFO1. In the event where NYC1 goes down during a Sharknado, the IP would automatically transition to SFO1 or TOR1 or whatever I configure, where a hot-standby droplet takes over.

The aibility to point many domains on a single loadbalancer with their ssl certificate, also wildcard certificate, for now I'm using cloudflare flexible ssl with proxied feature to link many domains

how i use digital-ocean private IP address from different zone different servers. Example : Server 1 have 10.104.0.4 and Server 2 have 10.106.0.9 how do i communicate throw this private IP. can you please help me. or give me some command.
