How to manage allowed IP addresses for Managed Database for Redis™

Reviewed on July 15, 2025

Allowed IPs restrict the IPs allowed to access your Redis™^* Database Instance. The entry 0.0.0.0/0 enables any host to establish a connection.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• A Redis™ Database Instance

How to add an IP address

1. Click Redis™ under Databases on the side menu. A list of your Database Instances displays.
2. Click the database name or more icon > More info to access the Database Instance information page.
3. Click Allowed IPs tab.
4. Click Add IP. The IP can be a single IP or an IP block.
   Note

   The IP must be specified in CIDR format, i.e. 198.51.100.135/32 for a single IP or 198.51.100.0/24 for an IP block.

5. Enter a single IP address or a subnetwork.
   Note

   To restore initial settings and allow connections from all IPs, add the following IP block to the list: 0.0.0.0/0.
   
   When no IP is specified, your cluster cannot be reached by any host.
   
   By default, the Scaleway console allows any host to connect to your Database Instance.

6. Click Add IP to do so.

How to delete an IP address

1. Go to your allowed IP address list.
2. Click delete icon.
3. A pop-up displays. Type DELETE to confirm.
4. Click Delete IP.
