SQL Server Management Studio Ignores Windows Proxy for connection


I'm using corporate VPN when connecting to Azure SQL Server DB. When I'm trying to establish the connection using SQL Server Management Studio 2019, the 'Connect to server' dialogue is showing me that I'm trying to connect using my original Dynamic IP. I have tried Netsh, and other tricks but was in vain, the SQL management studio insists on using my original IP. so I have a couple of questions:

  1. Why is this happening? Why SQL management studio is not using my proxy IP for TCP connection?

  2. Could it be that the Azure SQL Server is using some mechanism to detect that I'm using proxy and force my connection to be established via my original IP?

  3. What can I do to solve this issue? how can I force the SQL management studio to use my proxy IP for TCP connection?

Solution

  • Might be blocking you from corporate firewall. Ask your network admin to whitelist you from accessing. Hope this might help.
