Reviewed on 12 June 2023 • Published on 12 July 2019
Allowed IPs restrict the IPs allowed to access your Database Instance. The entry 0.0.0.0/0 enables any host to establish a connection.
Security & Identity (IAM):
You may need certain IAM permissions to carry out some actions described on this page. This means:
- you are the Owner of the Scaleway Organization in which the actions will be carried out, or
- you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets
Requirements:
- You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway console
- You have a Redis™ Database Instance
Note:
Allowed IP configuration is only available for public networks.
How to add an IP address
- Click Redis™ under Managed Databases on the side menu. A list of your Database Instances displays.
- Click the database name or «See more Icon» > More info to access the Database Instance information page.
- Click Allowed IPs tab.
- Click Add IP. The IP can be a single IP or an IP block.
Note:
The IP must be specified in CIDR format, i.e.
198.51.100.135/32for a single IP or198.51.100.0/24for an IP block. - Enter a single IP address or a subnetwork.
Note:
To restore initial settings and allow connections from all IPs, add the following IP block to the list:
0.0.0.0/0.
Note:
When no IP is specified, your cluster cannot be reached by any host.
Note:
By default, the Scaleway console allows any host to connect to your Database Instance
How to delete an IP address
