Configure Cluster Connections

Altinity.Cloud provides accounts the ability to customize their connections to their clusters. This allows organizations the ability to enable or disable:

• The Binary Protocol: The native ClickHouse client secure port on port 9440.
• The HTTP Protocol: The HTTPS protocol on port 8443.
• IP Restrictions: Restricts ClickHouse client connections to the provided whitelist. The IP addresses must be listed in CIDR format. For example, ip_address1,ip_address2,etc.

As of this time, accounts can update the IP Restrictions section. Binary Protocol and HTTP Protocol are enabled by default and can not be disabled.
