# Connection addresses

Configure the correct ParticleDB endpoint for SQL clients, HTTP, Redis, native clients and monitoring.

Source: https://particledb.ai/installation/ports/

Use the address for your selected client. The HTTP API and SQL clients listen on separate ports.

## Default ports

| Client or service | Port | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP SQL and health | `7173` | `--http-addr` |
| PostgreSQL-compatible SQL clients | `5432` | `--pg-addr` |
| ParticleDB native clients | `5440`, when enabled | `--pdb-addr` or `--pdb-port` |
| Redis-compatible clients | `6379` | `--redis-addr` |
| gRPC clients | `26257` | `--grpc-addr` |
| Prometheus metrics | `7175` | `--metrics-addr` |
| MySQL-compatible clients | `3307`, when enabled | `--mysql-addr` |

SQL, HTTP and gRPC bind to all interfaces by default. The dedicated metrics listener defaults to loopback. Redis inherits the SQL listener's interface unless explicitly configured. Set addresses explicitly when starting a local development server or deploying behind a private network.

## Local development

Follow the complete [local development command](/guides/local-development/) to keep enabled listeners on loopback. Setting only `--http-addr` does not restrict the other listeners.

## Native and MySQL clients

The downloadable `1.1.19-rc.12` server enables the native client listener by default; it inherits the SQL listener interface. Earlier builds can require an explicit `--pdb-addr` to enable it. Set the address explicitly when consistent listener behavior matters.

MySQL is disabled by default. `--mysql-addr` or development `--no-auth` enables it. Review every enabled listener before disabling authentication.

## Web console

The web console is a separate application. This server does not accept `--console-addr`. Follow the [web console guide](/getting-started/web-console/) for the console supplied with your installation.

## Remote connections

Replace `localhost` with your deployment's host and configured port. Use TLS, authentication and network controls. See [security](/guides/security/).
