I am considering some servers from hetzner. Does anyone know of a decent solution to put a few of these servers on the same "protected lan"?

Hetzner recently introduced the vSwitch feature. I believe it might be what you are searching for: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Vswitch/en https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Vswitch/en

  I noted that if you assign public addresses on the vSwitch network, it is limited to 1TB free transfer per month, with each additional TB charged at €1 (plus tax) per TB (for outgoing traffic).

You can get physical private LAN! Usually an overkill, but it's possible. When you order, you can specify extra things you will need. For example, you can ask for a secondary NIC on each server, and to connect up the secondary NICs through a dedicated switch. There are some caveats though: * more expensive. When your servers have non-standard configurations, Hetzner charges a fixed extra per-server, per-month fee ("Flexipack"). The fees add up. * The servers need to be in the same rack. If you order them all at once it's fine. But if you order, say, four servers now, and the fifth server a month later, the fifth one will go on a separate rack and won't get the private access to the four. * Setup takes longer. If you order standard configuration, it will be ready in minutes/hours. When I ordered the extra NICs and switch, it took about a week to complete the order. * A bit more configuration required. Primary NICs work out of the box. For the secondary NICs to work you need to tweak /etc/network/interfaces and the routing table.

  To be best of my knowledge the Flexipack is no longer required / available.

  Flexipack is gone. https://www.hetzner.com/flexipack/ https://www.hetzner.com/flexipack/ just shows the additional hardware prices. I posted this to https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/148931/hetzner-drops-flexi-pack https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/148931/hetzner-drops-f... mid-July.
