Asked by King Julien
I’m a little confused about what is the practical use of a private networking. I want to create two droplets for my website, on for the php staff (server A) and another for mongodb database (server B). Should I enable private networking on these servers and use server B’s private ip for mongodb connection string on server A or this is not the correct use for private networking?

Hey there,
Running a remote Database is a perfect use of Private Networking. You could further restrict the public interface access on Server B for added security.
Happy coding,
