IP or domain name for SQL access

(Peter) #1

My SQL database requires the external IP or the domain name to allow access to the database.

What should I write there? Once my bot is stored at flowxo shall I just say flowxo.com?

Hi @Peter

As Flow XO uses AWS (Amazon Web Service) there are a multitude of IPs so unfortunately white listing requests by IP addresses isn’t an option.

I see. That is probably the reason why I can’t connect to the DB now.

I’ve granted access for 0.0.0.0 IPs, but it doesn’t help either… Shall I give access for flowxo.com?

You can try whitelisting by domain but I can’t say for certain if it will work. Officially speaking there’s no set list of IP’s or domains that we can offer at the moment for whitelisting and instead recommend that a database which allows public connections be used instead.

We have a set of databases, which we refer to from other projects. We can certainly copy DBs to some other server, but it is bad for architecture.

Let us leave this for some time. I’ll try to get in touch with our hosting support to figure out how to get external access. They say we can provide an address, not only IPs - may be this is a solution…
