I cannot create a usable credential in n8n cloud for my Google Cloud Platform SQL database running SQL Server 2019 Express. When I try to save the credential, it immediately executes a test and the test fails with the error message: “Failed to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx:1433 in 15000ms” where I have masked my public IP. I’ve done this successfully multiple times for SQL Server running in Azure with no issues.
I have SQL Server Management Studio v19 running on my laptop and can connect easily so I know I have the correct public IP address, SQL server port(1433), user ID, and password. I’ve enabled TLS. I do have a firewall rule set up in GCP for my laptop’s IP. I wonder if I need a firewall rule for n8n cloud to connect to my database in GCP? If so, what would be the CIDR notation I should use?
There’s no workflow to share as I can’t get a working credential
