Google SQL SSL

[Felix TheCat]

Hello,

when i have a Website at siteground which is hosted on Google Cloud in the Netherlands and i want to connect it to google sql. Do i need to encrypt the connection? Because the connection should only be within the google datacenter without going outside. I look forward to your response.

Hello,

To offer the feedback you want, can you please provide more detail of how your site is set up? How is siteground connected to Google? How do you want to connect your site to Cloud SQL?

If I understand the documentation correctly you don't need additional encryption.
