I am trying to restrict the redis access to only few ip's My configurations below: bind 10.xx.xx.xx1 10.xx.xx.xx2 protected-mode yes And I am getting the error: Creating Server TCP listening socket 10.xx.xx.xx1:6379: bind: Cannot assign requested address When I tried binding 10.0.0.1 and the local ip, it is working Thanks ---

Do those two IP addresses belong to the Redis server? Or are they the IP addresses if the clients that should be able to connect? ---

These are the IP of the client that is trying to connect ---

Then it won't work. That configuration option affects which interfaces to listen on. It's not used for access control for connecting clients. ---

ok. Let me make it clear. I have Redis in one server and filebeat in 2 other servers. Now My redis should be able to accept data only from my filebeat servers. In other words, I wanted to have this secure. How can this be done. Thanks in Advance ---

You can configure Redis to require a password for connections or set up a firewall rule to limit which hosts can connect. ---

Another security option: With version 5.0 alpha3 redis output supports TLS including client authentication support. One can hide redis right behind [stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/index.html) for example and make redis port itself available to localhost only. ---
