Cloud Firewall

The Filess Cloud Firewall provides an additional layer of security for Dedicated databases by strictly controlling network access.

Features​

  • Default Deny: By default, no incoming connections are allowed from the public internet (unless configured otherwise).
  • IP Allow-listing: Specify individual IP addresses (e.g., your office VPN, CI/CD runner) or CIDR blocks (e.g., your AWS VPC subnet) that are allowed to connect.
  • Real-time Updates: Rules are applied instantly without restarting the database.

Configuration​

You can manage firewall rules via the Console or API:

  1. Go to your Database Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Security tab.
  3. Under Firewall Rules, click Add Rule.
  4. Enter a name (e.g., "Office") and the IP/CIDR.
  5. Click Save.
