When you [create and configure the destination instance](/database-migration/docs/sqlserver-to-csql-pgsql/configure-destination-database), make sure you create it with public IP enabled. If you already created your destination instance, you can still [enable a public IP for it.](/sql/docs/postgres/configure-ip).\n3. At a later stage, when you [create the destination connection profile](/database-migration/docs/sqlserver-to-csql-pgsql/create-destination-connection-profile), do the following:\n 1. In the **Define connection details** section, enter your Cloud SQL instance public IP.\n 2. In the **Define connectivity method** section, select **IP allowlist**."]]
