RDS provides whitelist access policies. You can set permitted IP addresses and IP network segments to effectively prevent hackers from attacking the server by port scanning1. A whitelist is a list of IP addresses or CIDR blocks that are allowed to access an RDS instance. By default, the whitelist is empty, which means that no IP address can access the RDS instance. You can add IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist to allow access from specific sources. You can also modify or delete the whitelist as needed2. Whitelist access policies help improve the security of your RDS instance and protect your data from unauthorized access3. 

Alibaba Cloud provides two main options for securely connecting a VPC with a traditional IDC: VPN (Virtual Private Network) and a dedicated leased line connection. These methods enable stable and secure communication between the VPC and on-premises environments. HTTP agents and stepping stones (options B and C) are not standard or secure methods for IDC-VPC connectivity.

For Layer-4 SLB using TCP, the health check determines ECS instance availability based on the successful completion of a TCP 3-way handshake. This ensures that the backend server is reachable and can accept connections, which is critical for reliable TCP-based load balancing.
