 Public vs private connectivity defines how resources are accessed and exposed over networks.
 
 - **Public connectivity**: Your resource has a [public IP address](/ipam/concepts/#public-flexible-ip-address) and is reachable over the public internet. Anyone with the right credentials can access the resource via its public IP address, e.g. over an [SSH connection](/instances/how-to/connect-to-instance/) or simply by directly accessing its IP address in a browser to retrieve and display any content it is serving, e.g. over HTTP.
-- **Private connectivity**: Your resources is reachable over an attached [Private Network](/vpc/concepts/#private-networks). The resource has a [private IP address](/vpc/concepts/#private-ip-address), but it can only be accessed via this address from within the VPC of the Private Network. Such a resource may or may not also have a public IP address.

 Favor resources such as Public Gateways and Load Balancers to provide access to the public internet over the Private Network. This allows Instances and other attached resources to send and receive packets to the internet through a single, secure point of access.

 For resources such as Instances and Elastic Metal servers, you may wish to implement third-party manual solutions in front of your public services to enhance security, for example:
 
 - Deploying a reverse proxy, e.g. Nginx (/tutorials/nginx-reverse-proxy/), and configuring it to enforce rate limits and to throttle traffic. This helps to prevent abuse and DDOS attacks on your public-facing services.

 Load Balancers are highly available and fully managed Instances, configured to distribute workload across a set of backend servers. They ensure the scaling of applications while securing their continuous availability. Load Balancers are therefore commonly used to improve the performance and reliability of websites, applications, databases, and other services.
 Scaleway Load Balancer monitors the availability of your backend servers via health checks. If it detects that a server is down, it rebalances the load between the rest of the servers, making your applications highly available for users.
