Network#
This guide explains where to find your network configuration in myDelska, how to read the Network Topology diagram, and how public and private networks work together.
Where can I see my network configurations?#
There are two ways to view network configurations:
- Select the instance you want to inspect and open its Network section.
- To view the entire network configuration, go to the Dashboard and open the Network section. This opens the Network Topology — an overview of your whole network configuration.
Open the Network section in myDelska to view your topology.
What information is visible in the Network section?#
The Network section (Network Topology) shows a diagram of your network configuration — the arrangement of, and connections between, your instances and the network.
What do the icons in the Network section mean?#
The Network Topology displays your network configuration as icons, where:
- Cloud — internet
- Globe — public network connection
- Shield icon with lock — custom firewall rules
- Red icon — firewall (private firewall VM)
- Icon with the OS logo — your instance
- Icon with three squares — private network
Each icon is interactive and shows information on hover. You can also click an icon to jump to the related configuration section — for example, firewall rules or a private/public network.
What are private network gateway settings?#
Private network gateway settings are located in the Network Topology (Dashboard » Network). In the topology, your private gateway is marked with the gateway’s name. On the right side, you can select the zone to manage the private network gateway settings, enter a DNS server, and select the gateway address VM. All VMs on the private network will be routed through the gateway and use your DNS server.
Can I use public and private networks at the same time?#
Yes. You can use public and private networks simultaneously — for example, for Kubernetes cluster ingress, or for high-availability and load-balancing setups. A firewall appliance (Mikrotik, Arista NG, pfSense, or a Linux OS) is often used in such configurations.
When a VM is disconnected from the public network, it can only be accessed through the Console or via a previously configured private firewall (Mikrotik, Arista NG, pfSense, or a Linux OS). Internet traffic is then arranged through this private firewall using NAT.
You can also establish a VPN connection using one of the private firewall’s functions, and use the VPN to reach a VM that only has a private network.
Please note: If you disable both networks, the VM is completely isolated and accessible only through the Console.
