The Azure Database for PostgreSQL service creates a firewall at the server-level. This firewall prevents external applications and tools from connecting to the server and any databases on the server unless a firewall rule is created to open the firewall for specific IP addresses.

1. After the deployment completes, click **All Resources** from the left-hand menu and type in the name **mypgserver-20170401** to search for your newly created server. Click the server name listed in the search result. The **Overview** page for your server opens and provides options for further configuration.
1. Locate your server after the deployment completes. If needed you can search for it. For example, click **All Resources** from the left-hand menu and type in the server name (such as the example mypgserver-20170401) to search for your newly created server. Click on your server name listed in the search result. The Overview page for your server opens and provides options for further configuration.

3. Click in the text box under **Rule Name,** and add a new firewall rule to whitelist the IP range for connectivity. For this quick start, let's allow all IPs by typing in **Rule Name = AllowAllIps**, **Start IP = 0.0.0.0** and **End IP = 255.255.255.255** and then click **Save**. You can set a firewall rule that covers an IP range to be able to connect from your network.
3. Under the **Firewall Rules** heading, click in the blank text box in the **Rule Name** column to begin creating the firewall rule.

## Get the connection information

When we created our Azure Database for PostgreSQL server, the default **postgres** database also gets created. To connect to your database server, you need to provide host information and access credentials.
