I had been able to connect to my SQL DB via LINQPad, but today I get the dreaded red x mark on the connection, and the hint/tooltip tells me that the IP address attempting to connect is quad non grata.
I reckon perhaps that my IP address is dynamic, and the one originally set has been replaced by a new one. If I’m right about that, surely I don’t have to create a new connection based on whatever my IP Address happens to be each time it changes…?
In Azure you need to configure the firewall to accept connections. If you get a new IP for your dev-machine you’ll need to reconfigure the firewall. You don’t need to change the connection string.
If you frequently get a new IP. Do something like this to automatically update the firewall.
