On-prem connectivity

Peliqan allows you to securely connect to on prem (on premise) data sources such as locally installed databases (SQL Server and others).

While Peliqan offers different methods for on-prem connectivity, the preferred method is by using NetBird, a secure software-only VPN that establishes a peer to peer connection between your on-prem server and the Peliqan data cloud.

Once the VPN tunnel is active, you can add e.g. a database connection in Peliqan, using the local IP address of your server.

Contact Peliqan Support if you want to set up an on-prem connection. Peliqan Support will provide you with a key, needed to set up the NetBird client on your server.

About NetBird

NetBird is an open-source, secure, peer-to-peer private network built on top of WireGuard. It enables encrypted connections between devices across different networks without the need for complex VPN setups or static IPs. Ideal for secure connectivity to internal services, NetBird simplifies private networking using a modern control plane.

How it works

NetBird uses a centralized management service (self-hosted or cloud) to coordinate peer connections and distribute WireGuard keys. Once connected, peers communicate directly using encrypted WireGuard tunnels.

Security

  • End-to-end encryption with WireGuard (ChaCha20, Curve25519)
  • Granular access control and group-based permissions
  • Device authorization, NAT traversal, and zero-trust principles

Supported Server operating Systems

  • Linux (including server distributions)
  • macOS
  • Windows (from Windows 10)

Connect to an on-prem SQL Server (Windows server)

Make sure TCP/IP is enabled in your SQL Server Configuration Manager:

Next, in Peliqan go to Connections > Add Connection > Search for “SQL Server”. Enter the connection details, using the internal IP of your on-prem server as the hostname.

Do this after the Peliqan Support team confirmed that the VPN tunnel to your on-prem server is active !
