I’m very excited about the new private networking option. I have a couple questions:
- How is the private traffic protected from sniffing by droplets not run by me?
- Is it OK if I use nmap over the private network to analyze my own droplets?
Thanks for the hard work launching private networking!

Can I use different IP addresses on the private network interfaces of my droplets ?
