Usage notes

  • Disabling the database proxy releases all database proxy endpoints. Connections using the internal or public endpoint of those proxy endpoints will stop working. Database proxy endpoints were formerly named proxy terminals.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Database Proxy.

  3. In the upper-right corner, click Disable Database Proxy.

  4. In the dialog box, click OK.
