Question
How to connect to managed database over private network?
- Posted March 4, 2020

I have set up a managed database in SFO2 and I have a droplet in SFO1. I added the droplet as well as its public and private IP addresses as allowed sources. Connecting via the public network works great. When I try to connect via the private network, it just hangs, as you would expect if you were being blocked by a firewall.
I’ve even tried:
nc -zv ${privatehostname } ${port}
and its still not connecting.
Is there something I’m missing here?

The private networks for SFO1 and SFO2 are entirely separate. You would only be able to communicate with your managed database over the private network from a Droplet in SFO2.
With that in mind, you could either create new Droplets in SFO2, or communicate over the public network.
