I have a google cloud machine which has an ubuntu Os, I have MySQL database on another server, I opened the remote connection on my SQL server, and I connect to my database from any machine else from my google cloud machine I can not, it taking long time then I have a timeout connection problem.
I think the problem is from firewall rules, so I applied this command to create rule that allow 3306 port
cloud compute firewall-rules create "mysql-remote-access" --allow tcp:3306 --source-tags "mysql-client" --target-tags "mysql-server"
but still, I can not connect to a remote MySQL server
from where can I enable it, thank you
I think your firewall rules is not correct. This one should solve the issue
gcloud compute firewall-rules create "mysql-remote-access" \
--direction=EGRESS --action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:3306 \
--destination-ranges=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 --target-tags=mysql-client
Short description: You allow the EGRESS traffic on port 3306 to the destination xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for the traffic coming from the VM with the tag "mysql-client"
By default all the outgoing communication are allowed, but you might have a rule with higher priority that prevents this
Implied allow egress rule. An egress rule whose action is allow, destination is 0.0.0.0/0, and priority is the lowest possible (65535) lets any instance send traffic to any destination, except for traffic blocked by Google Cloud.
It the rule doesn't work, share all your existing firewall rules.

I’ve a question regarding Compute VM and its associated privileges. I have ‘Owner’ privileges at Project level. I created a VM but was not able to assign an external IP address to it. Upon referring to google cloud docs, it appears that I’ll still be able to connect to this VM using VPN or IAP. Upon clicking the SSH link next to the VM, I see that it uses a Cloud-IAP tunnel but the connection fails.
Here is the error message
External IP address was not found; defaulting to using IAP tunneling.
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.start-iap-tunnel) Error while connecting [4003: u'failed to connect to backend'].
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) [/usr/bin/ssh] exited with return code [255].
How do I go about connecting to this VM?
Appreciate your help with this

https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/using-tcp-forwarding
Firewall rules that are configured to allow access from Cloud IAP's TCP forwarding netblock, 35.235.240.0/20, on all ports of your machine. This ensures that connections are allowed from Cloud IAP's TCP forwarding IP addresses to the TCP port of the admin service on your resource. Note that you might not need to adjust your firewall rules if the default-allow-ssh and default-allow-rdp default rules are applied to ports used for SSH and RDP.
As probably you already have default-allow-ssh instead of trying:
gcloud compute start-iap-tunnel stage-es-kibana 5601 --local-host-port=localhost:5601
jump to port via extra ssh layer:
gcloud compute ssh stage-es-kibana -- -N -L 5601:localhost:5601
or open Google Firewall between host/port stage-es-kibana:5601 and subnet 35.235.240.0/20.
This is a permissions issue.
You are trying to ssh into your vm thru google's IAP proxy.
You don't have permissions to create the tunnel from your computer to the proxy server.
You need have the role "roles/iap.tunnelResourceAccessor" to ssh to your vm:
It seems that the GCP CE requires to initialize SSH and other services after its RUNNING status.
I used a workaround by adding a sleep (60 sec) command, after starting the VM and before SSH using the IAP tunnel.
In my case I solved or worked around it by omitting the --tunnel-through-iap parameter that is passed to gcloud compute ssh.
try open Google Firewall subnet 35.235.240.0/20
I am trying to follow this tutorial. You do not have to read whole tutorial, my small goal is to create firewall rule on Google Compute engine and connect to using telnet.
I did create firewall rule:
But when type telnet X.X.X.X 5901, I get back
Connecting To X.X.X.X...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5901: Connect failed
I replaced actual ip with X.X.X.X in the above.
Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot it?
That should work!
I suspect vncserver isn't running (correctly) on the instance.
Or you're using the internal IP rather than the external IP address.
Did you confirm the server is running before you tried access it remotely? The tutorial suggests:
nc localhost 5901
But, you could also try:
ss --tcp --listening | grep 5901
and should see something similar to
LISTEN 0 5 *:5901
you need to tag the one GCE instance with vnc-server, in order to apply the rule. setting IP ranges to the home network might be tighter than permitting range 0.0.0.0. think one can use Stackdriver to log whenever a firewall rule applies. the host firewall might also prevent the access (eg. when Stackdriver logs, but it still not works).
I have google cloud compute engine instance. I'm trying to connect using winSCP. I followed the steps by https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance
It is stating "Connection Timed out error" What should be the cause. Should I need to open firewall in google cloud? But it doesn't shown in the instruction.
Yes, you should have a GCE firewall rule added for SSH protocol to allow this traffic to the VM instances that you want to connect. This is a quote from this article:
Each network has its own firewall controlling access to the instances.
All traffic to instances, even from other instances, is blocked by the
firewall unless firewall rules are created to allow it.
The default network has automatically created firewall rules, which
are shown below. No manually created network of any type has
automatically created firewall rules. For all networks except the
default network, you must create any firewall rules you need.
Firewall rules are only "allow" rules. You cannot create "deny" rules.
If you need to restrict traffic from reaching certain instances,
create rules that allow traffic to the other instances, then remove
the firewall rule that allowed traffic to all of the instances.
The firewall rules automatically created for the default network are
as follows:
default-allow-internal
Allows network connections of any protocol and
port between instances on the network.
default-allow-ssh
Allows SSH connections from any source to any instance on the network over > TCP port 22.
default-allow-rdp
Allows RDP connections from any source to any instance on the network over > TCP port 3389.
default-allow-icmp
Allows ICMP traffic from any source to any instance on the network.
I am a very basic user in Google Cloud Platform.
Is it possible to use a GUI of my VM instance ? I am currently using Centos7 VM.
You can use VNC to connect to VMs on Google Compute Engine. Here's a detailed tutorial for how to set this up.
For added security:
use a long, complex password (though note that VNC limits passwords to 8 characters)
instead of opening up port 5901 to the Internet, consider using an SSH tunnel. This is more complex, and depending on your Internet connection, may slow down your graphics refresh rate, but will be more secure.
To use the alternative approach with an SSH tunnel, here are the differences from the tutorial you need to follow:
don't open port 5901 in the Google Compute Engine firewall
create an SSH tunnel from your desktop/laptop to GCE VM via:
gcloud compute ssh \
${VM_INSTANCE} \
--project $PROJECT \
--zone $ZONE \
--ssh-arg "-L ${LOCAL_PORT}:localhost:5901"
where you need to provide the right parameters for ${VM_INSTANCE}, $PROJECT, and $ZONE that match your configuration. You can choose ${LOCAL_PORT} to be 5901 if you wish, but if you decide to VNC into several different GCE VM instances, you'll have to choose unique ports for your local machine.
You need to keep this connection open to use VNC. If this connection is closed, you will lose VNC access as well.
Instead of connecting to your VM using its external IP, connect via localhost:${LOCAL_PORT} with ${LOCAL_PORT} same as selected earlier in step #2
My need was to connect a Windows TightVNC client to Google Compute Engine Cloud Instance of Debian 10 (Buster). The various tutorials I have worked through omitted one important step: make sure the vnc server is not restricted to localhost.
The essential steps for Google Cloud are summarized as
confirm you have a running VM instance and that you have ssh access.
I explicitly disabled enable-oslogin (how to disable oslogin)
and loaded my own Puttygen-created SSH certificate.
in VPC Networks > Network Interface Details > Firewall and routes > Rules add a rule to allow ingress for ip range 0.0.0.0/0 (or a
known limited range), for tcp:5900-5920 (this allows for up to 20
VNC instances)
set up the VNC server (tutorials here and for debian 9
here and for debian 10 here and more complete and recent
here for debian 10
after doing this, I could not get past "Connection refused."
Missing step: make sure -localhost no is included as argument when starting the vncserver:
vncserver -localhost no
Once all these conditions were satisfied, I had desktop access.
We are using a debian in GOogle Compute engine and was allowed port tcp:3306 to connect to mysql but we are unable to conect, any workaround ?
Steps:
Created a Health Checks for my service with the name MySQL;
Pools created a Target for my service named mysql pointing to my region and vm instance;
Rules created a Forwarding Service pointing to my external IP of my VM instance and port you wish to release.
Regards
I changed the configuration file located at /etc/mysql/my.cnf. In there, I changed the bind-address to 0.0.0.0. After following this link, I was able to connect. The Health Checks, Pools and Forwarding rules aren't relevant in this case.
