Because of my machine IP gets changed dynamically (get ip using website whatismyip.com ) I could not able to access and set Server-Level Firewall Rules to sql azure database.
I tried to add range also 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 but it is not working.
Is there any work around to access SQL Azure?
getting error:
I wrote a post a while ago on how to access the SQL Azure instance using point-to-site VPN provided by Azure Virtual Network. It does not require anything to be open on the SQL Azure side. Here is a link to it: http://rtumaykin-it.blogspot.com/2015/01/using-linux-iptables-port-forwarding.html
Here is how to create a Virtual network and VPN: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/vpn-gateway-point-to-site-create/
Hope this solution can help.
SQL Azure requires you to add your public IP address to be added to restriction so that you can access it. Go to whatismyip.com , fetch the address you get there and paste it in the Azure Management portal to the allowed IP List.

I have an Azure logical SQL server to which I added a Private Link, the NIC is attached to an existing vnet\subnet. Our company's VPN is linked to that vnet and I can see other devices on the private link's subnet but not the SQL Server.
The SQL Server is reachable on the public URL (temporarily for testing) but trying to ping or tracert the server with the private IP fails, I can ping and tracert to other VMs on the same subnet.
I'm not using a custom DNS zone because it's imperative that we configure it with the IP and I haven't made any changes to our company DNS (I'm expecting not to have to).
Other than creating the private link and attaching it to the SQL Server, what else needs to be done? What am I missing?
I'am working on the same Issue. It's still not solved yet but there are some steps you need to do.
For the Connectivity it's required to add a DNS, especially if you want to connect from the On-Prem. Azure has a default DNS-Solution for Azure-Resources. The Problem is: From On-Prem you can't access the default Azure-DNS-Service.
So you have to configure a DNS-Zone (in Azure or On-Prem).
I would like to connect to Azure SQL server from a Window server via SSMS. In the “set server firewall” from Azure, I have given my server IP ( from the system I would like to connect). I need to know the destination IP adders of the Azure DB Server. From Azure portal the location is showing central US . To allow firewall I need to know the destination IP address.
My questions are:
1. As Central US could have multiple IP addresses, do I need to provide all IPs to my Firewall team?
2. How can I know the destination IP address ( i.e. Azure) so that I can provide that to my firewall team?
Note: From SQL server management studio, the tcp default port for SQL is enabled and services are running fine.
Hope I have explained it correctly.Thanks
No. You cannot get a static IP address assignment for your Azure SQL Database. Moreover, what you refer (mysqlserverdatabase.mysql.database.azure.com designates your Azure SQL Database Server, not a single Database. This is a logical server, in which you can put up to 149 Databases (150 with the Master DB).
You have to workaround your requirement for static IP address assingment to work with the DNS Name (mysqlserverdatabase.mysql.database.azure.com).
Otherwise if your company firewall can't work with the DNS Name ,you need to set the server connection policy to Proxy as documented in Azure SQL Connectivity Architecture. This allows the database gateway to proxy all traffic between the client and the DB server. The gateways all have static IP addresses, which are listed in the above document.
If you have setup a VNet in Azure, checkout VNet Service Endpoints to connect Azure SQL.

While configuring an Azure managed Postgres service, I am trying to configure connecting from local machines through VPN.
I can connect to the DB when white-listing IPs in Connection Security.
I have added the subnet the VPN-gateway is connected to to the VNET Rules – this doesn't seem to make a difference.
I can connect to VMs through the VPN from my local machine.
However to make that work, I added the VMs' (private IP, Azure URL)-pairs to my local machines hosts-file.
I can't find any IP for the DB-service (which seems to make sense for a managed service), so I can't make the same trick.
The error I'm getting, when trying to connect to the DB, is similar to the ones I got before adding hosts mappings.
This all leads me to believe I need some way of having Azure resolve the URL (which might also preempt the need for hosts-mappings in general).
From this article, I tried setting my DNS for 168.63.129.16, but that doesn't work at all (nothing at all is resolved).
Is there a way (and if so, how) to connect from a local machine to an Azure Database for Postgresql service through a VPN gateway?
I don't think there is a way to do this as your desired. You want to map an Azure database logical server private IP to your local hosts file, then access it via VPN gateway.
You only know the public IP for the Azure database server. The public IP addresses of Azure services change periodically. You could find an IP address list by filtering your region. It does not recommend to use such a dynamic IP address. Refer to this blog.
Since Azure database is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) Database Engine not IaaS like Azure virtual machines, It's public and does not expose the database server private IP address. We only could access the database via Azure database server name over the Internet.
Furthermore, if you want to restrict its access only from a private network with virtual Network service endpoints. However, this works to allow resources like Azure VM in the authorized subnet to access directly your Azure database in a private network, could not guarantee that if you could access the Azure database from your local machine via VPN. This seems no on-premise route to your Azure database.
Azure has provided the access to the mysql instance as the domain name as
X.mysql.database.azure.com
I am able to connect it properly. But I need to get the public/static ip address which we can use to access this instance.
Thank you.
No. You cannot make a static IP address assignment for your Azure SQL Server or Azure Sql Database.
You have to workaround your requirement for static IP address assignment to work with the DNS Name (x.database.windows.net).
I'm aware of the Microsoft documentation here. And have created both server-level and database-level firewall rules for accessing an Azure SQL db.
I'm now at a coffee shop using SQL Server Mgmt. Studio to work on an Azure SQL db, but DO NOT want to accept the coffee shop's IP address as a whitelisted IP.
How can I access my Azure SQL Server without whitelisting every IP address I wish to connect from? Is there some type of Azure proxy to use?
Thank you
Short answer is that you can not connect from an IP address that isn’t whitelisted.
AFAIK, there isn’t a proxy available for such scenario.
As a workaround,
you can add and remove the IP from whitelist later or
have a VM (on Azure or elsewhere) with SSMS that is able to connect to your DB and you could remote into that.
Thanks for the offer #AlbertoMorillo. I decided to go with:
curl ifconfig.me to determine IP address, then
EXECUTE sp_set_database_firewall_rule
#name = N'name_your_rule',
#start_ip_address = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', #end_ip_address = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
to create the rule, then
EXECUTE sp_delete_database_firewall_rule N'name_your_rule'; when I'm finished.
