If you are working with Azure SQL Databases, you are well aware that Azure SQL Server needs your IP address for allowing you to access the Azure SQL database. Although it is considered as a one-time-setting, it is not if the IP address of your machine gets frequently changed or dynamically assigned from a service like DHCP. In a situation like that, we have to always open the portal and add the IP address via Firewall Settings of Azure SQL Server which is time-consuming and inconvenient.
Good news! Now this setting is available with Management Studio and if it detects that the current IP address is no longer a valid one for accessing, it allows you to login to Azure Subscription and add the current IP address to the Firewall Settings. This is really a good facility and saves time. Remember, it is available only with Management Studio 2015 December Preview.
