While validating the connection, I get the error saying the private IP is not allowed

Users may encounter the following error when using the private IP address when adding database to the SQL Connector:

Error: Private IP address is not allowed.

Our application cannot access any SQL server deployed locally - in other words, any server with a private IP address. Consequently, user get the "Error: Private IP address is not allowed" message during the connection validation.

Private IP address ranges are as follows:

  • Class A: 10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255.

  • Class B: 172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255.

  • Class C: 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255.

As of now, utilizing a public IP address is the only viable option for the SQL Connector. Alternative solutions simply do not exist within current framework.
