Instance - Firewall

Firewall Rules

The Firewall displays all active inbound access rules configured for your instance.

Each rule controls access based on:

• IP version (e.g., IPv4, IPv6)
• Type (e.g., SSH/SFTP, MySQL)
• Protocol and port range
• Source IP address (allowed origin)
• Description (for easy identification)

Add Rule

To allow inbound traffic to your instance, you can add custom firewall rules by specifying the protocol, port, and source IP.

Steps to Add a Firewall Rule

1. Select the Type of service you want to allow (e.g., SSH/SFTP, FTP, HTTP(s), MySQL/Aurora, Custom TCP/UDP).
2. Enter the Port or Port Range you want to open (e.g., 22 for SSH, 3306 for MySQL).
3. In the Source field, you can select Anywhere-IPv4, Anywhere-IPv6, or My IP to automatically prefill the IP or CIDR field.
4. Enter the IP address or CIDR range that should be allowed to access your instance.
5. Click Add Rule to apply the changes.

Delete Rule

Click Delete to remove an existing firewall rule and immediately revoke access from the specified IP address or service.
