| 16 | +Private Networks allow your Mac mini to communicate in an isolated and secure network with other Scaleway resources, without needing to be connected to the public internet. This is an optional-billed feature for Mac mini. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Each Mac mini can be connected to one or several Private Networks, letting you build your own network topologies. Private Networks’ built-in DHCP server manages the allocation of private IP addresses for Mac mini servers (and other resources) when they are attached to the network. |
