What is a VPC private network?
A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) private network links several servers through a dedicated network interface: traffic flows only between your machines, and is visible neither from the internet nor to other customers. At CorceLink, a private network links up to 32 Nova VPS in the same region for €1.00 per month, with traffic not counted. Private interconnect extends the same principle to all your services: cloud, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation and VPN sites, for €9.90 per member per month.
Key terms
Private range
An address block reserved for internal networks (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16), in which each VPS gets its address. A /24 gives 251 usable addresses.
Floating IP
The same secondary address declared on two VPS: whichever holds it can change at any time (with keepalived, for example), to fail over from one server to the other.
Layer 2 VLAN
The same local network stretched between two locations. The layer 2 link carries your VLAN end to end, to another datacenter or an office, with optional encryption.
Pricing
Three ways to link your servers privately
The VPC private network for your VPS, private interconnect for all your CorceLink services, and the layer 2 link to extend your local network to another datacenter or an office.

On quote
VPC private network: monthly, no commitment. Final prices, no VAT added: VAT not applicable under article 293 B of the French General Tax Code (CGI).
Client area
Your private network, from creation to day-to-day use
Two client area screens, exactly as you will use them: creating a network and its own page. Each one is documented step by step (in French).
Created from the client area, ready in under a minute
You name the network, keep the suggested address range or pick another, then tick the VPS to link: each one gets an address you can edit. The network goes into your cart at €1.00 per month and is provisioned on payment.
Private range suggested without overlapping your other networks
Configuration mode of your choice for each VPS
Linking or removing a VPS does not change the price
The network page shows its VPS, their private address and their status. From there you link or remove a VPS, change its configuration mode or restart it to apply its address, and find the subscription, invoices and latest operations.
Each network is separated from other customers’ networks. A VPS can only send from its own addresses (anti-spoofing), and the firewall rules that allow the network are created, kept up to date and locked automatically.
Private traffic not counted
Traffic between your VPS does not count towards your monthly traffic: link a website to its database without exposing it to the internet, or spread an application across front ends, cache and storage.
Automatic or manual configuration
The private address is applied by cloud-init at the next reboot, right away (about one minute of downtime), or by you, with the commands provided for netplan, ifupdown and NetworkManager.
Routing and gateways
Up to 20 routes per network to turn a VPS into a router, a NAT gateway to the internet or a VPN gateway to your office. Secondary addresses and a floating IP allow failover between two servers.
All your services, privately
Private interconnect puts your public cloud instances, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation equipment and VPN sites on one network, isolated from other customers, for €9.90 per member per month.
Driven by the API
Link or remove a VPS, change an address, add a route: private networks are part of the CorceLink public API, included with every account, with keys limited to the permissions they need.

VPC private network, interconnect or layer 2 link?
The right choice depends on what you link: VPS together, all your CorceLink services, or the same local network across two locations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a private network between VPS cost?
A VPC private network costs €1.00 per network per month, with no commitment, whatever the number of VPS linked, up to 32. Traffic exchanged between your VPS does not count towards your monthly traffic. You add the network to your cart from the client area and pay as for your other services; it is provisioned on payment, usually in under a minute, and can be cancelled from its page.
What is the difference between a VPC private network and private interconnect?
The VPC private network links only your VPS within one region, for €1.00 per network per month. Private interconnect, at €9.90 per member per month, brings your cloud instances, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation equipment and VPN-connected sites onto one isolated network, with 1, 10 or 25 Gbit/s ports. To extend the same local network to another datacenter or an office, the layer 2 link is available on quote.
How many VPS and private networks can I create?
Up to 5 private networks per account, 32 VPS per network and 4 networks per VPS. A network links VPS within one region, Lyon for now, and accepts up to 20 static routes. A VPS already linked to 4 networks is no longer offered when creating a network. You can link or remove VPS at any time, from the network page or through the API.
Which IP range should I use for a private network?
Any private range among 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16, as long as it does not overlap your other networks. The client area suggests one automatically, for example 10.20.1.0/24, which gives 251 usable addresses. Two customers can use the same range, since their networks are isolated. Each VPS gets an editable address in the range; the network MTU is 1450.
Do I need to reboot my VPS to link them to the network?
No, it is not mandatory. In automatic mode, the recommended one, cloud-init applies the private address at the next reboot, with no interruption until then. The “restart now” mode applies it immediately, with about one minute of downtime. In manual mode, nothing changes in your system: you configure the interface with netplan, ifupdown or NetworkManager, using the commands shown on the network page.
Is the private network really isolated from the internet?
Yes. Traffic on a private network flows only between your VPS: it is visible neither from the internet nor to other customers, whose networks are separate. A VPS can only send from the addresses assigned to it (anti-spoofing), and the firewall rules that allow the network are created, kept up to date and locked automatically. This check is on by default; the documentation advises disabling it only on a router or gateway VPS (NAT, VPN).
Can I link a dedicated server or a colocation rack to my VPS?
Yes, with private interconnect, at €9.90 per member per month. It puts your cloud instances, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation equipment (in a partner datacenter in Lyon) and VPN sites on one private network, isolated from other customers. Options: 10 Gbit/s port at €49.00 per month, 25 Gbit/s port at €99.00 per month, second port at €19.90 per month, and connection to an exchange point on quote.
Can private networks be managed through the API?
Yes. You create the network in the client area, then the public API (api.corcelink.fr/v1) lets you read and rename it, link or remove VPS, change their addresses, secondary addresses and source/destination check, and manage up to 20 static routes per network. Each API key only gets the permissions it needs, network:read or network:write. The full reference is published on docs.corcelink.fr.
