Private Networking Overview

Make your Sliplane services private and accessible through VPN or tunnel solutions.

By default, Sliplane services can be made public (accessible via the internet) or private (only accessible by other services on the same server). With private networking or tunnel solutions, you can:

  • Keep your services private on Sliplane
  • Access them securely through an encrypted connection
  • Connect services across different servers or networks

How It Works

  1. Deploy a VPN or tunnel client as a private service on Sliplane
  2. Configure it to connect to your private network or tunnel provider
  3. Add your private services as network resources
  4. Connect from your local devices or route traffic through the provider
  5. Access services via their internal hostnames (e.g., my-service.internal)
