ETL+ Public IP Whitelisting

v2022.08

For security, DataSelf ETL+ whitelists your IPv4 or IPv6 public address (not the internal IP address).

When is Whitelisting Required

Required for ETL+ for Maintenance and Configuration

ETL+ software used only for maintenance (no data extraction, just configuration) is usually installed on personal computers. If ETL+ detects that you have a new or changed public IP (e.g. you took your notebook to a hotel), it’ll initiate a public IP whitelisting. See below.

ETL+ Whitelisting for Production

When ETL+ needs to extract data from sources:

  • Whitelisting is not required for Cloud source systems: If DataSelf Corp. is hosting your ETL+ production and refreshing your data cloud-to-cloud, then you don’t need to worry about IP whitelisting.

  • Required when Running ETL+ data extraction on-premises or private clouds: Your ETL+ installation will require whitelisted public IP addresses. See below for options.

IP Whitelisting

After starting ETL+, the program will initiate a public IP whitelisting process if required.

  • ETL+ license validation: Look for your ETL+ registration email for Email, Entity ID, Token; press Next.

  • ETL+ recognizes your current public IP address (enter a 2nd one if available), click Next and you’re all set.

No Public Fixed IP

  • Option 1 (Recommended): Setting up a public IP address for your business or computer running ETL+.

  • Option 2: Setting up a VPN between the computer running ETL+ and DataSelf cloud data warehouse.

  • Option 3: In most cases, public dynamic IPs rarely change (usually in power outages and/or IP modem resetting). Move forward with your dynamic IP address, and if/when it changes, run ETL+ manually to whitelist the new IP.
