Configure Firewall Settings on Azure SQL

Firewall rules in Azure SQL Database control which IP addresses can connect to your database server. Configuring these rules correctly ensures that only trusted users and applications access your data while keeping it secure from unauthorized traffic.

Azure provides two levels of firewall configuration: server-level and database-level rules. Server-level rules allow access to all databases under a logical server, while database-level rules apply only to a specific database.

You can configure firewall rules using the Azure Portal, Transact-SQL (T-SQL) commands, or PowerShell. Understanding how and where to apply these rules helps ensure a secure and flexible environment for managing database access.
