-## Whitelisting Your IP Address
-
-Port 3306 is fire-walled on all Hypernodes to prevent hackers and bruteforces from connecting to your MySQL instance. That's why if you want to externally connect to MySQL on the Hypernode, you’ll need to add a whitelisting entry first.
-
-### Whitelist via the hypernode-systemctl CLI Tool
-
-First check which IP addresses have been whitelisted already, if any.
-
-```nginx
-hypernode-systemctl whitelist get
-```
-
-### Adding to Whitelist
-
-To add more values to your whitelists you can run the following. Please note that descriptions are optional:
-
-```nginx
-hypernode-systemctl whitelist add database 1.2.3.4 --description "my description"
-```
-
-### Removing From Whitelist
-
-To remove values from your whitelists you can run the following:
-
-```nginx
-hypernode-systemctl whitelist remove database 1.2.3.4
-```
-
-### Whitelist via Your Service Panel
-
-Only our Service Panel users have the option to whitelist an IP via the Service Panel.
-
-1. Log on to your [Service Panel](https://auth.byte.nl).
-1. Select your Hypernode.
-1. Go to `Instellingen` > `Externe database toegang`.
-1. Add the IP addresses to the firewall whitelist.
