Introduction

Managing allowed IPs for database access is a crucial part of ensuring the security and proper operation of your database server. By carefully configuring which IP addresses are allowed to connect to your database, you can enhance the protection of your sensitive data and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Allowed IPs for Database Access

When you create a database, it is important to assign allowed IPs that can connect to the database server. This is a key security measure that helps control who can access your database and protect it from potential threats. Here’s how you can manage allowed IPs effectively:

• Security Aspect: Allowing only specific IP addresses to access your database enhances security by restricting access to known and trusted sources. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized connections and potential data breaches.
• Configuring Allowed IPs: You must add the IP address of the host that is running your application if you want the application to connect to the current database. This ensures that only your application and any other approved systems can interact with your database.
• How to Add Allowed IPs: Navigate to the database management section in your dashboard, locate the settings for allowed IPs, and enter the IP addresses that need access. Ensure that you have the correct IP addresses to avoid connectivity issues.

Properly configuring allowed IPs not only protects your data but also helps in maintaining the integrity and availability of your database services. Regularly review and update these settings as needed to adapt to any changes in your network or application environment.
