When Will You Need to Whitelist an IP?
If you're running a local instance (like from localhost
) or need to connect external apps or services, you’ll need to manually add their IP addresses to the whitelist.
How to Whitelist an IP on Nomodo.io
- Go to Database > Access Management in your app detail.
- Choose “TCP” in the Protocol select.
- Put the IP string into “CIDR address”. A tool like ipinfo.io helps find your IP or the public IP of the app/service.
- Add
/0
to allow access from a wide range of IPs, or use/32
to restrict access to a single IP address. - In the “Port” input, paste the value from “DB Port” in the tab Database > Database Info.
Why Does This Matter?
Whitelisting ensures that only trusted sources can connect to your database—keeping unwanted access at bay. So, every time you work in a new environment or add new services, don’t forget to update your whitelist.
Note: IP addresses may change over time, so ensure your current address is always updated. If you cannot connect, check if your IP is still listed.
