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
Hey!
Quick update here, you can now create internal-only regional load balancers.
Internal load balancers have no public IP address and are only accessible by resources in the same VPC.
This feature is currently in early availability and only available through the CLI and API.
