Firewall

Overview

SkySQL services are firewall-protected.

Access to MariaDB SkySQL services is managed on a per-service basis.

IPv4 addresses and IPv4 netblocks can be added to the allowlist to enable service access. Access from other addresses will be blocked.

Compatibility

  • Enterprise Server With Replica(s)

  • Xpand Distributed SQL

  • ColumnStore Data Warehouse

  • Serverless Analytics

Default

IP addresses can be removed from the allowlist from the Firewall settings interface or a service's Security Access interface:
