Client with IP address 'X.X.X.X' is not allowed to access the server.  To enable access, use the Windows Azure Management Portal or run sp_set_firewall_rule on the master database to create a firewall rule for this IP address or address range.  It may take up to five minutes for this change to take effect.

   - Make sure you have configured the IP Firewall of the Azure database server to accept the client's IP address.
 - Make sure that client's firewalls are open for it to connect to Azure Database. A good test is to telnet the Azure Database hostname on port 1433. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34760223/client-with-ip-address-is-not-allowed-to-access-the-server-azure-sql-database
