+# Move from private access (virtual network integrated) to public access or Private Link with the Azure portal_
+
+[!INCLUDE[applies-to-mysql-flexible-server](../includes/applies-to-mysql-flexible-server.md)]
+
+This article describes how to move an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server from Private access (virtual network integrated) to Public access or a Private Link with the Azure portal.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- An Azure account with an active subscription. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
+- An Azure Database for MySQL server started with Private access (virtual network integrated).
+- An Azure Virtual Network with a subnet that has a service endpoint to the Azure Database for MySQL server.
+- An Azure Database for MySQL server with a private endpoint.
+
+## How to move from private access (virtual network integrated) to public access or Private Link with the Azure portal
+
+The steps below describe how to move from private access (virtual network integrated) to public access or Private Link with the Azure portal.
+
+1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/), select your existing Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance.
+
+1. On the Private access (virtual network Integrated) Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance page, select **Networking** from the front panel to open the high availability page.
+
+1. Select **Move to Private Link**.
+
+   > [!NOTE]
+   > A warning appears explaining that this operation is irreversible and has downtime.
+
+1. Once you select **Yes**, you're taken to a wizard that has two steps.
+
+   1. Step 1: Detach the server from the virtual network infrastructure and transitioning it to the Private Link or Public access infrastructure.
+
+      1. If you need public access only, you need to check `Allow public access to this resource through the internet using a public IP address`, or If you need private access only, then move to step 2 and don't check `Allow public access to this resource through the internet using a public IP address`. If you need public and private access, check the box for `Allow public access to this resource through the internet using a public IP address` and move to Step 2 to create a private link.
+
+      1. Once you Select Next then the process of detaching the server is initiated
+
+      1. Once it's detached, you can create a private link.
+
+      1. In Step 1, when the server detaches from the virtual network, the server is put into an updating state. You can monitor the status of the server in the portal.
+ 
+
+   > [!NOTE]
+   > After detaching the server from the virtual network infrastructure, if you didn't opt for "Allow public access to this resource through the internet using a public IP address" and also omitted Step 2 or exited the portal before completing the necessary steps, your server becomes inaccessible. You encounter a specific message indicating the server's update status.
+
+You can select to configure the network setting or move to the networking pane and either configure public access, private endpoint, or both.
