We have a requirement to connect the Cloud SQL Database via Cloud Auth proxy deployed on a GKE cluster from an on-premise application securely. on-premise -> cloud auth proxy (GKE) -> Cloud SQL Instance. This is working fine when the connections are made on port 8080 but we would like to make it a secured connection from On-premise to Cloud Auth proxy.

We are expecting to connect the Cloud Auth proxy from on-premise servers securely.

The Cloud SQL Auth Proxy is great for securing connections between a local application and Google Cloud. It is ONLY intended to be run on the same machine as the application.
To secure your connection between your on-prem application and your Cloud SQL instance, please deploy the Cloud SQL Proxy on the same machine as your on-prem application.
