This page describes how to configure public IP connectivity for a Cloud SQL instance.
Introduction
You can configure your Cloud SQL instance to have a public IPv4 address, and to accept connections from specific IP addresses or a range of addresses by adding authorized addresses to your instance.
You can't specify a private network (for example, 10.x.x.x) as an authorized network.
Public IP addresses for SQL Server instances:
- IPv6: Instances do not support IPv6.
- IPv4: Instances have a static IPv4 address automatically assigned. There is a small charge for the IP address any time your instance is off (deactivated).
For help with connecting an administration client to your instance over an IP connection, see Connecting sqlcmd Client using IP addresses.
If you configure your instance to accept connections using its public IP address, also configure it to use SSL to keep your data secure. For more information, see Configure SSL for Instances.
To configure your instance with an IP address that is not exposed to the public internet, see Configuring Private IP Connectivity.
Enabling public IP and adding an authorized address or address range
To enable public IP and add an authorized address:
When you enable public IP for your instance, it is configured with a public, static IPv4 address.
When you enable public IP for your instance, it is configured with a public, static IPv4 address.
Console
- Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page in the Google Cloud Console.
- Click the instance name to open its Instance details page.
- Select the Connections tab.
- Select the Public IP checkbox.
- Click Add network.
- In the Network field, enter the IP address or address range you
want to allow connections from.
Use CIDR notation.
- Optionally, enter a name for this entry.
- Click Done.
- Click Save to update the instance.
gcloud
-
If you haven't already, add an IPv4 address to the instance:
gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --assign-ip
- Show all existing authorized addresses by describing the instance:
gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]
Look for authorizedNetwork entries under ipConfiguration, and note any authorized addresses you want to keep.
-
Update the authorized network list, including all addresses you want included.
gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --authorized-networks=[IP_ADDR1],[IP_ADDR2]...
Use CIDR notation.
- Confirm your changes:
gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]

Aborted connection
You see the error message Got an error reading communication packets
, or Aborted connection xxx to db: DB_NAME
.
The issue might be
- Networking instability.
- No response to TCP keep-alive commands (either the client or the server is not responsive, possibly overloaded).
- The database engine connection lifetime was exceeded and the server ends the connection.
Things to try
Applications must tolerate network failures and follow best practices such as connection pooling and retrying. Most connection poolers catch these errors where possible. Otherwise the application must either retry or fail gracefully.
For connection retry, we recommend the following methods:
- Exponential backoff. Increase the time interval between each retry, exponentially.
- Add randomized backoff also.
Unauthorized to connect
You see the error message Unauthorized to connect
.
The issue might be
There can be many causes, as authorization occurs at many levels.
- At the database level, the database user must exist and its password must match.
- At the project level, the user may lack the correct IAM permissions.
At the Cloud SQL level, the root cause can depend on how you connect to your instance. If you are connecting directly to an instance through the public IP, the connection's source IP must be in the authorized network of the instance.
Private IP connectivity is allowed by default, except when you are connecting from a non-RFC 1918 address. Non-RFC 1918 client addresses must be configured as authorized networks.
Cloud SQL doesn't learn Non-RFC 1918 subnet routes from your VPC by default. You need to update the network peering to Cloud SQL to export any Non-RFC 1918 routes. For example:
gcloud compute networks peerings update cloudsql-mysql-googleapis-com --network=NETWORK --export-subnet-routes-with-public-ip --project=PROJECT
If you are connecting through the Cloud SQL Proxy, ensure that the IAM permissions are set up correctly.
At the network level, if the Cloud SQL instance is using public IP, the connection's source IP must be in an authorized network.
Things to try
- Check the username and password.
- Check the user's IAM roles and permissions.
- If using public IP, make sure the source is in the authorized networks.
Network association failed
You see the error message Error: Network association failed due to the
following error
: set Service Networking service account as
servicenetworking.serviceAgent
role on consumer project.
The issue might be
The Service Networking API
is not enabled in the project.
Things to try
Enable the Service Networking API
in your project. If you see this error when you are trying to assign a private
IP address to a Cloud SQL instance, and you are using a shared VPC, you
also need to enable the Service Networking API
for the host project.
Remaining connection slots are reserved
You see the error message FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for
non-replication superuser connections
.
The issue might be
The maximum number of connections has been reached.
Things to try
Edit the max_connections
flag value.
Set Service Networking service account as servicenetworking.serviceAgent role on consumer project
You see the error message set Service Networking service account as
servicenetworking.serviceAgent role on consumer project.
.
The issue might be
User or service account permissions are not correct. This can happen during automated setup scripts, such as a Terraform configuration script.
Things to try
To repair service permissions, disable the
Service Networking API
, wait five minutes and then re-enable it.
You can also try using these gcloud
commands to assign the role
to the project
gcloud beta services identity create --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --project=project-id
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding project-id --member="service-account-prefix@service-networking.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/servicenetworking.serviceAgent"
Error x509: certificate is not valid for any names
You see the error message error x509: certificate is not valid for any
names, but wanted to match project-name:db-name
The issue might be ...
Known issue: The Cloud SQL Proxy Dialer is not compatible with Go 1.15 at this time.
Things to try
Until the bug is fixed, see this discussion on GitHub, which includes a workaround.
Cannot parse certificates in some operating systems
When you use x509 libraries from mac OS 11.0 (Big Sur), you may fail to parse the certificates of sqlserver instances. This may be surfaced as a generic error, like "cancelled."
Things to try
The bug is fixed and the new instances won't hit this problem. For old instances hitting this problem, rotate the server certificate and recreate client certificates.
Cannot modify allocated ranges in CreateConnection. Please use UpdateConnection
You see the error message Cannot modify allocated ranges in CreateConnection. Please use UpdateConnection
.
The issue might be ...
When a range was reserved and then removed, the private connection is also removed. You get this error when you attempt to make a connection using a different reserved range without first recreating the private connection.
Things to try
You need to recreate the private connection.
Use the following command, and make sure to use the --force
argument:
gcloud services vpc-peerings update --network=VPC_NETWORK --ranges=ALLOCATED_RANGES --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --force
