] there is a very similar thread, I feel sorry for the redundancy.

Anyway I would ask to you some more thing about this topic: I've been
reading here [
http://library.linode.com/databases/postgresql/pgadmin-windows
http://library.linode.com/databases/postgresql/pgadmin-windows ] that you
can access remotely creating a VPN channel.

What are the real advantages of creating a VPN, if you have already set your
server like this for example:
host all all zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz/32 md5
I mean, don't you already have an md5 encrypted channel between the server
and zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz ?

Thank you for reading.
