IPs to whitelist on MySQL DB hosted on Digital Ocean

[amarhashconnect]

Hi,

We are currently running a MySQL RDS database on the DigitalOcean platform, with connections restricted to our application server at the moment.

We’d like to experiment with Power BI and access the database. Could you please suggest the specific IPs that need to be whitelisted?

I’ve come across forums mentioning the need to whitelist Power BI IPs from the JSON file available at the Azure IP Ranges and Service Tags – Public Cloud on the official Microsoft Download Center.

However, the list is extensive, with around 700 IPs, and certain IP formats aren’t supported by DigitalOcean. Could you please help identify a minimal set of IPs we could whitelist?

Thank you!

Hi @amarhashconnect ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

As @Akash_Varuna  mentioned, please try using gateways. While I cannot provide a specific minimal set of IPs without access to the latest data, here is an approach you can take:

• Identify the regions where your Power BI service is hosted. You can often find this information in the Azure portal or Power BI service settings.
• Use the PowerBI service tag from the JSON file to filter out unnecessary IPs.
• If DigitalOcean supports CIDR notation, you can whitelist entire ranges instead of individual IPs to reduce the number of entries.

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

I think you could use Power BI On Prem gateway by configuring it on the machine or could use reverse proxy
