How can I maintain the connection of digital ocean with my other platforms, without publishing on the web

Hi there,

Yes, it is possible to maintain secure connections between your DigitalOcean Droplet and other platforms without exposing them to the public internet. Here are a few ways to achieve this:

1. Use the DigitalOcean’s VPC to create a private network, ensuring traffic between Droplets does not traverse the public internet. This is a good way of all of your Droplets are hosted on DigitalOcean:

1. Use DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls. You can configure a free cloud firewall to restrict access to your Droplets, allowing connections only from specific IP addresses of external providers or other Droplets within your VPC:

1. Use the OpenVPN Access Server from the DigitalOcean Marketplace to set up a VPN. This enables secure connections between your Droplet and other platforms:

1. Create SSH tunnels to establish secure connections to your DigitalOcean Droplet, encrypting the traffic and forwarding ports from your local machine or other platforms to the Droplet:

Feel free to share more details about your exact use-case and needs :)

Heya,

I’ll recommend you to check - https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/openvpn-access-server

OpenVPN Access Server offers a web based interface to easily setup and manage your OpenVPN-based VPN server to access private and public resources that is compatible with many platforms, and supports multiple authentication systems.

I think that would be the way to go for you.
