Global Private Network Overview
Last Updated on 2021-01-14Features
Global Private Network is a service that creates an isolated environment for a truly private network between servers. In this high-capacity private network, your servers are separated from the open Internet and public access to your servers is filtered, greatly enhancing the security of the connection between LayerStack instances in different regions or the same region as well as your sensitive data.
Initial Setup of Global Private Network
To use Global Private Network, you need to manually modify the network settings with your preferred IP through the console.
Regional Availability
Global Private Network is available in the Hong Kong, Tokyo & Singapore region.
