Question
How to Use Load Balancer Internal IP To Avoid Unnecessary Bandwidth Charges

Asked by shaylevi2
Hi, DigitalOcean load balancer seems to only have a public IP (no internal IP).
As far as I understand, if I were to send traffic from one droplet (consumer) to a service (few droplets BEHIND A LOAD BALANCER) on the SAME VPC, I would be charged for bandwidth although the consumer and the service are on the same VPC (because I would be using the load balancer public IP).
Is there a way to use the load balancer internal IP? Maybe a DNS name I’m unaware of?
Thank you

Hi,
DigitalOcean doesn’t provide internal load balancers. Their Load balancers are all publicly exposed, no way o use them internally
