A Private Network with a Range You Chose and a Way Out When You Want One
A private network on a public range is the surprise at the first NAT, and dhcp_default_route defaults to false, so servers get an address and no route, right for an isolated segment and wrong for one behind a router. An RFC 1918 range required, DHCP handing out the resolvers you chose, a router created and the default route set when you ask, and an output that says the network filters nothing.

Documentation
upcloud-network
An UpCloud SDN private network with a range you chose, DHCP that hands
out what you said, and a router when the network needs to reach out.
Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), UpCloudLtd/upcloud
provider >= 5.0, < 6.0.
The range is yours to pick, and must be RFC 1918.
DHCP without a default route is a network with no way out. The
default route follows attach_router.
Nothing filters traffic on it; filters_internal_traffic is always
false.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
upcloud-nat-gateway
An UpCloud network gateway with the NAT feature attached to a router, so every private network on that router gets a way out; the router (upcloud-network creates one) is the input. The gateway is zonal and starts with the apply; the plan (advanced or production) is the throughput ceiling and the hourly bill from creation.
huawei-vpc
A Huawei Cloud VPC whose range is checked against RFC 1918 (a public range by name), with subnets placed in the zones you name, each with its gateway at the first address and DHCP handing out Huawei's resolvers so the platform's service names resolve. Nothing egresses: a NAT gateway (huawei-nat-gateway) or an EIP is a separate decision.
do-vpc
Every resource created without a vpc_uuid lands in the region's default VPC beside everything the team ever made there; an auto-assigned ip_range is the one most likely to collide with the next peer; and a peering between overlapping ranges is accepted and carries nothing. A named VPC, a required range, overlaps refused at plan time, and an output that says nothing inside the VPC is filtered.
civo-network
Every resource created without a network_id lands in the region's default network beside everything the team ever made there; cidr_v4 is optional, so a network created without it gets whatever range was free, the one most likely to collide with the office or the VPN. A named network, a required range, the resolvers you chose, and an output that says the network itself filters nothing.
exoscale-private-network
A private network without start, end and netmask hands out no addresses: every instance configures its own and two that pick the same one collide silently; and nothing filters traffic on the segment. A managed range required and derived from your RFC 1918 CIDR, addresses reserved at the ends for gateways, and an output that says every attached instance reaches every other.
ovh-private-network
A private network is a vRack VLAN that carries no addresses until a subnet hands them out; a subnet without a gateway address has no way to the internet; and nothing filters traffic on the segment. The subnet's RFC 1918 range required, DHCP with the resolvers you chose, an OVH gateway created by default so instances reach out without a public address, the network named as unfiltered.
