Public Access

Databases are private by default.

Enable public access

Enable public access from the database page when you need to connect from your computer, a third-party tool, or an external service.

Firewall

Always add allowed IPs or CIDR ranges before relying on public access.

Examples:

203.0.113.10
203.0.113.0/24

An empty allow-list blocks external connections.

Safer workflow

  1. Enable public access.
  2. Add your current IP.
  3. Connect and do the work.
  4. Disable public access when you are done if it is not needed.
