Hi,
I my project I am using node-red-contrib-mssql-plus node to insert and retrieve the data from the MS-SQL. It's been working fine more than a year now.
Now I have requirement to access the DB through Proxy server ?
Is there any way i can still use the same node to access the DB through Proxy Server or I must consider changing into different node ?
your inputs highly appreciated.
Regards,
Mani

So long as the proxy permits access from your node-red server, there is no reason it shouldn't work. So long as the IP and TCP port are accessable over the proxy...

Hi Steve-Mci,
Thanks for your quick response.
I was having an impression that, I must get configure a setting similar 'node-red : http request' node
Attached the proxy setting configuration available for the 'node-red : http request' node.
Could you kindly confirm if having the Proxy server configured to allow the Node-RED server would prevent any potential issues?
Regards,
Mani

Oh right I see. It all depends on the kind of proxy and how it is configured, whether there are local lan NO\_PROXY settings etc. worst case, you may need to setup a reverse proxy or [ssh tunnel](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6915472/accessing-sql-server-over-an-ssh-tunnel)
