title: Azure Error: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server
body: <p>I have SQL server &amp; web app hosted over Microsoft Azure platform. I am constantly getting above error when ever i run web application (and try to connect azure sql server) from my local network, however i never face issue on azure web app service (i.e. After hosting my web app on azure)</p>
  
  <p>I know that this error is very familiar. But in this case it seems weird. I have already checked below things,</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>SQL connection is managed properly. (I am using ADO.Net)</li>
  <li>All gateway IPs are white listed against azure sql.</li>
  <li>No firewall is blocking my private network.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any help will be appreciated. </p>
