Proxy Server

Available in VPC

In Proxy Server, you can create and manage proxy servers that control traffic connecting user PCs to servers and DBs, and record user activity history.

Proxy Server interface

The Proxy Server interface includes the following components:

Create a proxy server

A proxy server is created when subscribing to the DB & Server Access Control service. To create a proxy server:

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Security > DB & Server Access Control > Proxy Server.
2. Click [Subscribe].
   • If you are not subscribed to the required integrated service, Cloud Log Analyzer, a popup for subscribing to Cloud Log Analyzer appears.
3. When the Proxy server settings page appears, configure the proxy server and click [Next].
   • Access key: This value must be unique. You cannot use an access key already in use by another tenant.
   • VPC: If you do not have a VPC created, you need to create 1 first by clicking [Create VPC].
   • Subnet: If you have not created a subnet, click [Create subnet] to create 1 first.
   • Server spec.: Select specifications considering the recommended maximum quantity of access control targets. Can be changed during proxy server operation.
4. When Set dashboard analytics criteria appears, set the analytics criteria to be applied to the dashboard, and then click [Next].
   • Define business hour criteria: The dashboard provides analytics on database queries and server commands executed outside the defined business hours.
   • Define bulk query criteria: The dashboard provides analytics on query results that meet or exceed the defined bulk query threshold. Up to 1,000,000,000 can be entered.
5. When Final confirmation appears, review the configured values and click [Create].
   • The Created proxy server appears with the status Creating.

Change a proxy server

You can change the specifications of a proxy server. If the number of access control targets changes, you can respond flexibly by modifying the proxy server specifications.

To change the specifications of a proxy server:

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Security > DB & Server Access Control > Proxy Server.
2. Select the proxy server.
3. Click [Change spec].
4. When the Change spec popup appears, select the specifications you want to change and click [Yes].
5. Review the cautions, select the check box, and then click [Yes].
   • The proxy server appears with the status Creating.

Restart a proxy server

To restart a proxy server:

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Security > DB & Server Access Control > Proxy Server.
2. Select the proxy server.
3. Click [Restart].
4. When the Restart popup appears, review the restart cautions, select the check box, and then click [Yes].
   • The proxy server appears with the status Restarting.

Delete a proxy server

You can delete a proxy server only by unsubscribing from DB & Server Access Control. For how to unsubscribe, see Manage subscriptions.

Download the client

The DB & Server Access Control service controls access by requiring users to route through a proxy server instead of connecting directly to the server or DB. The client connects your PC to the proxy server. Log in to the client with a NAVER Cloud Platform sub account. When a user logs into the client, their traffic passes through the proxy server, and the proxy server verifies the user's access permissions before allowing access to the server or DB. If you do not use the client, access will be blocked because you cannot pass through the proxy server, so you must install the client to connect to the server or DB. The client supports Windows and macOS. Download and install the file for your PC operating system. To download the client:

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Menu > All Services > Security > DB & Server Access Control > Proxy Server.
2. Click [Download client].
3. When the Download client popup appears, click [Download] for the installer that matches the connecting user's operating system.
4. Once the file has finished downloading, click [OK].
