Hi,
I recently created a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster. However, Cilium is routing node-to-node traffic via the public interfaces on the Droplet, instead of the internal interfaces (10.x.x.x).
This makes doing certain things, like using the PROXY protocol on load balancers and setting trusted IP ranges on NGINX Ingress difficult, since when autoscaling, new nodes might have completely random and unpredictable IPs.
Is there a DigitalOcean approved method to update Cilium to route traffic properly that won’t be overwritten when DO does managed updates/upgrades?
Thank you

Hi,
After a lot of research, I discovered that managed Kubernetes agents are automatically added to a Firewall (in the Networking tab) which prevents all access.
As a result, I can remove the trusted IP settings. I would still prefer that network traffic occur on the private network, but it’s not as much of a show stopper.
Thanks
