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

1. Go to Database > Access Management in your app detail.
2. Choose “TCP” in the Protocol select.
3. Put the IP string into “CIDR address”. A tool like ipinfo.io helps find your IP or the public IP of the app/service.
4. Add /0 to allow access from a wide range of IPs, or use /32 to restrict access to a single IP address.
5. 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.
