How to authorize my dynamic IP network address in google-cloud SQL?

Question

My internet connection has a dynamic IP adress which keeps changing every time the modem is restarted, so I have a hard time configuring the Authorized Networks in Access Control.

Answer 1

This is explained at https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/access-control#dynamicIP .

Your options are, and I quote:

• Use a proxy service so that your application appears to come from only one IP address. Add this address to the authorized networks that can connect to the instance.
• Use a CIDR range that covers all of the IP addresses from which your service might connect.
• Use the CIDR range 0.0.0.0/0, which allows all external IP addresses to connect.

The third and last option, despite its attractive simplicity has implications that may make it undesirable -- read the docs I'm pointing to.
