**NOTICE:**
Sometimes it can happen that Load Balancer is working but connection is not working because it is not added into security groups. So to prevent this don't forget to apply neutron security group to amphorae created on the LB network to allow traffic reaching the configured load balancer. See [the load balancer deployment walkthrough](https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/train/contributor/guides/dev-quick-start.html?highlight=security%20group#production-deployment-walkthrough) for more details.
