We are trying to connect to our SQL AZURE databased (Northern Europe) we keep getting timeout error. Initially it was post-login phase error and now we keep getting 10600 error. We are on V12 version.

Any ideas please?

Here is the detail 

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll

Additional information: Connection Timeout Expired.  The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase.  The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed out while attempting to create multiple active connections.  The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=303; handshake=922; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0; [Post-Login] complete=13000;
