Their private networking is not private to you, it's private to all customers. Meaning I could access your server via your internal IP.

What advantage are you looking for?

I'm guessing it has something to do with EU data privacy laws.

It's because DO only offers internal/private networking in their NYC2 datacenter and thus not available in the AMS center.

I'm looking for free, speedy network for my data to not go through Internet. Data should be encrypted anyway.

Can you just establish a ssh / ssl vpn tunnel for that?

I'm afraid that ElasticSearch cluster may be to slow to work on this setup.
