How to Add Timus IP Address to Your Database Access List

Overview

This guide helps you configure your database to accept connections from devices using the Timus connect. It includes how to find the Timus IP and properly allow it in your database setup.

Common Symptoms When Timus IP is Not Allowed

• Connection refused
• Timeouts or no response
• "No pg_hba.conf entry" (PostgreSQL)
• "Access denied for user" (MySQL)

Step-by-Step Configuration

1. Find Your Timus Gateway IP

• Login to Timus Manager
• Go to Network → Gateways
• Copy the public IP address of the active gateway

2. PostgreSQL Setup

Edit pg_hba.conf and add:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS               METHOD
host    all             all             <Timus_IP>/32         md5

Then restart PostgreSQL:

sudo systemctl restart postgresql

4. Open Firewall for Timus IP

• Ensure the port (3306 for MySQL, 5432 for PostgreSQL) is open to the Timus IP
• On cloud environments, adjust Security Groups or Network ACLs

5. Confirm Access

• Test connection using DBBeaver, pgAdmin, or another SQL client
• Verify success logs on the DB server
