Overview

TencentDB for Redis supports public network access in Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou regions. To use public network access in other regions, you can use a CVM instance with a public IP for port forwarding to access TencentDB for Redis over the public network.

Note：

Because iptables-based forwarding may be unstable, we recommend that you do not access instances over the public network in the production environment.

Directions

1. Log in to a CVM instance and enable the IP forwarding feature. For more information, see Logging In to Linux Instance (Web Shell).

   Note：

   The CVM and TencentDB instances must be under the same account and in the same VPC in the same region, or both in the classic network.

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
   

2. Configure the forwarding rule. The sample code below forwards access requests originally to 26.xx.x.2:10001 (CVM instance public address with a custom port as desired) to the TencentDB for Redis instance with the private address 10.0.0.5:6379:

   iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 10001 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.5:6379
   iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 10.0.0.5 -p tcp --dport 6379 -j MASQUERADE
   

3. Configure the security group to open the public port of the CVM instance. We recommend that you configure a security group rule to allow only the source which needs to connect to the Redis instance. For more information, see Adding Security Group Rules.

4. To connect to the Redis instance in the private network using a public network address (26.xx.xx.2:10001 in the sample code), you can use the same command as the private network connection command. For more information, see Connecting to TencentDB for Redis Instances > Connecting via Client Tool.

5. After connecting to the TencentDB for Redis instance, run the info command. If the database information is returned, the connection is successful.
