I am using Terraform to build droplets but wish to build them without public addresses so my access to them thru ssh is only thru a bastion server which has a public address.

Hi @glenndaughenbaugh,
There are two possibilities as I see it. The first is to use your Iptables firewall and remove access on any port. An example can be see here:

Alternatively, you can rename your interface on your Droplet that’s related to your Public address and leave your Private address only. This has been discussed here
