Shared Private Network (SPN)

Concept

The Shared Private Network (SPN) is a secure infrastructure for creating a unified interaction space between servers, services, and developers. It is implemented using VPN technologies, providing secure and convenient data exchange as well as centralized access management.

Key principles

• Security: all data is transmitted over an encrypted channel.
• Ease of connection: employees and services connect via a single access point in accordance with company policies.
• Management flexibility: support for changing gateways, subnets, and DNS.
• Integration: ability to link user and node management with existing internal systems.

Benefits

• A unified network map including nodes, gateways, and subnets. Allows viewing the current state of the infrastructure and managing connection parameters.

• A visual network map showing active connections, node status, and routes. Useful for monitoring and quickly identifying issues.

• A network management module via the SPN API, which enables integration with internal personnel and infrastructure management systems.

• Ability to switch a node gateway (e.g., for load balancing or failover) and reconfigure subnets.

DNS

An internal DNS record system accessible only to employees when connected to the private network. Used for:

• convenient access to services and nodes by name
• configuring unified routing and name resolution rules for employees (developers)
