I have 2 droplets, one NodeJS and one MongoDB. I can SSH into both of them and run “ping <other-droplet-public-ip>” and get a response, but when I try to ping the private VPC ip of either - it doesn’t work (Destination Host Unreachable).
I have enabled “Private Network” on both droplets, and I have rebooted both as well. Still doesn’t work.
Am I missing something?

I have the same problem. Also the the auto ip of the droplets in the OS had another ip. It is not just ping but all the traffic. The droplets cannot communicate.
Hi, I solved it. I do not know why but my droplets had and strange network device called eth0.1. I disabled that device and created eth1, and put there the configs of the Private Network and now everything is working.
