When creating my Postgres Cloud SQL instance I specified that would like to connect to it using private IP and chose my default network.
My VM sits in the same default network.
Now, I follow instructions as described here https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-compute-engine
and try executing
psql -h [CLOUD_SQL_PRIVATE_IP_ADDR] -U postgres
from my VM, but get this error:
psql: could not connect to server: Connection timed out Is the server
running on host "CLOUD_SQL_PRIVATE_IP_ADDR" and accepting TCP/IP connections on
port 5432?
Anything I am under-looking?
P.S. My Service Networking API (whatever that is) is enabled.
If you have ssh to a VM in the same network you can connect to Cloud SQL using cloud SQL proxy:
Open the ssh window (VM-instances in Computer engine and click on ssh), then download the proxy file with:
wget https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.amd64 -O cloud_sql_proxy
Execute, in the ssh shell
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
Create a service account with role Cloud SQL Client and create an api key. Download the json key in your local computer.
In the ssh vm shell click on the wheel and "upload", and upload the key file
5.
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances=<Instance connection name>=tcp:5432 -credential_file=<name of the json file>
where "Instance connection name" can be found in SQL-Overview -> Connect to this instance
Finally
psql "host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 sslmode=disable user=<your-user-name> dbname=<your-db-name>"
On the other hand, if you want to connect to cloud sql from your local computer and the cloud sql instance does not have a public ip you have to connect through a bastion host configuration.
https://cloud.google.com/solutions/connecting-securely
According to this document connect via private ip, you need to setup following item:
You must have enabled the Service Networking API for your project. If you are using shared VPC , you also need to enable this API for the host project.
Enabling APIs requires the servicemanagement.services.bind IAM permission.
Establishing private services access requires the Network Administrator IAM role.
After private services access is established for your network, you do not need the Network Administrator role to configure an instance to use private IP.

I successfully created a Compute Engine VM instance, and installed MySQL on it using this guide:
https://cloud.google.com/solutions/setup-mysql
Now I want to connect to it from App Engine and from my home too if possible.
Using this guide: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/connecting-vpc
I created the connector, giving it the suggested 10.x.x.x/28 IP address.
In my app engine's app.yaml I inserted:
vpc_access_connector:
name: projects/xxxxxxxxxx/locations/europe-west3/conectors/xxxxxx
The VM instance shows an internal IP of 10.x.x.x and an external IP of 34.x.x.x
I am trying to connect from PHP using this line:
new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname, 3306, null);
but I get different errors.
When connecting to 34.x.x.x from my home:
mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
(I even created a Firewall rule to allow all traffic from my home IP)
When connecting to10.x.x.x from app engine:
2002: Connection timed out
When connecting to 10.x.x.x from app engine:
2002: Connection refused
How can I make a connection?
My first guess is that the service inside the instance is not up and running, check if the service of MySQL is running and listening, you can try this by doing a nmap test vs. the public IP of your MySQL VM instance nmap 34.0.0.0. You should see something like this (if you are using the standard port):
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp closed http
443/tcp closed https
3306/tcp open mysql
Remember that there are two firewalls you need to take care of on GCP, (VPC firewall & OS firewall). So if you are not able to see this port start the SQL service by connecting into your VM instance and typing sudo systemctl start mysql, now run again nmap 34.0.0.0 and you should see the service.
To connect from App Engine to MySQL on Compute Engine VM instance just follow this other guide .
To connect from your home It will be better for you to connect to the instance via SSH and then to access your database, or you can keep connecting by a VPN to access it with the internal IP address if you need to connect directly to the socket, just take care to avoid hitting the limitations or missing something like IAM roles and permission needed for this connection.
I'm trying to put use an RDS proxy to pool and share connections established with an RDS database with a PostgreSQL engine. The problem is I'm able to open a connection to the DB, both through an ECS instance or in PgAdmin, however, I'm not able to connect through the proxy. To attempt a connection through the proxy in PgAdmin, I'm using the proxy endpoint as opposed to the DB endpoint but the connection attempt times out.
I've successfully created the proxy and associated with my DB, both proxy and DB status is available. I've followed the example proxy setup and the DB and the proxy are using the same VPC security group.
Any ideas?
It seems to me that you are connecting to the proxy from outside of AWS. If this is the case, then its not possible to do this directly:
Your RDS Proxy must be in the same VPC as the database. The proxy can't be publicly accessible, although the database can be.
Your may be able to connect to RDS since it publicly accessible. RDS proxy on the other hand, can only be access from within the same VPC, e.g., from an instance.
Therefor, the solution is to setup an instance in the same VPC as your RDS and proxy. The instance must be accessible using SSH.
On the instance, you can run pgadmin4, in docker:
docker run --rm -p 8080:80 \
-e 'PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=user#domain.com' \
-e 'PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=Fz77T8clJqJ4XQrQunGA' \
-d dpage/pgadmin4
The command, after setting up the docker, will server pgadmin4 on port 8080 on the instance.
You can check on the instance if its working:
curl localhost:8080
which can give the following indicating that its working:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: /login?next=%2F. If not click the link
However, since your instance is only accessible through ssh (port 22), to access it from your local workstation, you have to establish an ssh tunnel:
ssh -i <private-key> -L 8080:localhost:8080 -N ubuntu#<public-instance-ip> -v
In the above, my instance was Ubuntu. For Amazon Linux 2, the user would be ec2-user.
The tunnel will forward port 8080 from the instance (i.e. pgadmin4) to your local workstation on port 8080.
Then you just point your browser to localhost:8080 and you should see the pgadmin4 welcome screen.
P.S. My RDS and proxy settings used for the verification:
Followed instructions to created Google Cloud SQL instance with PostgreSQL db. I can examine it from glcoud command line with the instance name:
gcloud sql instances describe my-fancy-instance-name
I get back oodles of details!
When I created the SSL certs, it gave me the psql command to connect, which matches the instructions from the instructions given by Google documentation on how to connect via public IP (I left that enabled for now).
Now, with the discovered IP and port, which was also verified by the gcloud command, I try to call psql to connect:
psql "sslmode=verify-ca sslrootcert=server-ca.pem \
sslcert=client-cert.pem sslkey=client-key.pem \
hostaddr=my_INSTANCE_IP \
user=my_USER_NAME dbname=my_DB_NAME"
It takes a bit but it comes back and reports:
psql: could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host “nnn.ooo.ppp.qqq" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port xxxxx?
and I verified the ip, but the port was NOT returned by the gcloud command...
Now, I have my SSL (.pem) files in ~/.postgress folder and added that path in my command as well, but no joy.
Any ideas why the psql can't connect (connection times out)? Especially since the gcloud command works?
The error message suggests that the CloudSQL instance is not exposed to the local host IP. As in the documentation step 7, you need to add your local psql client IP to the Authorized network. Can you confirm if you did that? If your local host IP is dynamic, then you have to regularly re-add the IP to Authorized network once your local IP changed.
Following the Google documentation you provided, I successfully connected to my Cloud Postgresql database from my local psql client.
I am currently working on an AWS EC# LINUX AMI. I have a private IP. Is it possible to access that private IP with filezilla to transfer files. i am unable to do so.
For access an EC2 machine with private IP, you need to setup your own VPN server. If you already have VPN setup in your AWS cloud then you just need to install a VPN client and login with your credential and you will be able to access EC2 machine or transfer files using filezilla with private IP too. I am assuming that you haven't setup VPN server. you may use AMI of OPENVPN from AWS market place for setup VPN. Below is the good link for getting start.
https://docs.openvpn.net/how-to-tutorialsguides/virtual-platforms/amazon-ec2-appliance-ami-quick-start-guide/
After complete this you have to install OPENVPN in your machine and after Login with your credentials your will able to access your EC2 instance with private IP.
Below is the link for install OPENVPN in Ubuntu machine. For different operating system you can explore site.
https://docs.openvpn.net/getting-started/how-to-install-openvpn-as-software/
OPENVPN is one of the alternative, you can use other also as per your need.
Using 2 ways you can do this
Create a bastion host which will connect to the private instance
Using a port forwarding means tunnelling.
If you are using bastion host for connecting private ec2 instance then this steps will be useful
Using Filezilla to transfer files to a private ec2 instance through a bastion host:-
Note: Keep Pem file same of bastion host and private ec2 instance.
Open terminal or cmd(linux terminal i.e gitbash)
we are connecting to the AWS EC2 instance with one terminal command.
ssh -N -L 1234:<private_instance_ip or Private_DNS>:22 -i <Pem_File> #<Bastion_host_public_ip>
e.g.
ssh -N -L 1234: ip-171-12-21-208.us-east-1.compute.internal:22 -i app_prod.pem ubuntu#ec2-31-92-123-22.us-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com
Note: - For the first time when you enter this command it will ask for Are you sure you want to continue connecting - yes
3.Keep this terminal or cmd open.
If you close this session then the connection is broken
4.Open “FileZilla” application and on “Edit” section -> Click on “Settings”
5.On “Settings” page -> Click on “SFTP” and add PEM file of ec2 instance and click on “OK”
6.Add below entries:-
Host:- 127.0.0.1 or sftp://127.0.0.1
Username:- <your_user>
Password:- Keep empty
Port:- 1234
7.Click on Quick Connect.
Once the connection is established then you can easily transfer files from local to private instance.

I am following the Django sample for GAE and have problem to connect to Cloud SQL instance by Proxy from Google Cloud Shell. Possibly related to permission setting since I see the request not authorized,
Other context,
"gcloud beta sql connect auth-instance --user=root" has no problem to connect.
I have a service account for SQL Proxy Client.
I possibly miss something. Could someone please shed some light? Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

I can reproduce this issue exactly if I only give my service account "Cloud SQL Client" IAM role. When I give my service account the "Cloud SQL Viewer" role as well, it can then connect. I suggest you try this and see if it helps.
It looks like a network connectivity issue.
Read this carefully if you use a private IP :
https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/private-ip
Note that the Cloud SQL instance is in a Google managed network and the proxy is meant to be used to simplify connections to the DB within the VPC network.
In short: running cloud-sql-proxy from a local machine will not work, because it's not in the VPC network. It should work from a Compute Engine VM that is connected to the same VPC as the DB.
What I usually do as a workaround is use gcloud ssh from a local machine and port forward over a small VM in compute engine, like:
gcloud beta compute ssh --zone "europe-north1-b" "instance-1" --project "my-project" -- -L 3306:cloud_sql_server_ip:3306
Then you can connect to localhost:3306 (make sure nothing else is running or change first port number to one that is free locally)
The Cloud SQL proxy uses port 3307 instead of the more usual MySQL port 3306. This is because it uses TLS in a different way and has different IP ACLs. As a consequence, firewalls that allow MySQL traffic won't allow Cloud SQL proxy by default.
Take a look and see if you have a firewall on your network that blocks port 3307. To use Cloud SQL proxy, authorize this port for outbound connections.
