Re: how to connect through firewall

Message(his problem is fixed! I forgot to reply to the list and did only to
him, the answer is below)

Kapila,

Make sure you have PostgreSQL setup to allow access from the IP address that
you're
connecting from. (This would likely be the firewalls address). Give that a
shot, and see
if that fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

First of all thanx for the great tool. The problem I’m facing is how to
connect to my server when I’m behind a firewall. I tried to open a TCP
socket for port 5432. That doesn’t’ work because I don’t have a way to tell
pgadminII that I’m pointing to a firewall proxy.

Thanx in advance. Help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Kapila.

Hi Kapila,

I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting to do. If you firewall is
transparent, then you should just be able to connect as normal. If you are
using some form of port forwarding, then I guess you would point pgAdmin at
the listening port on your firewall, which will forward the data to the
PostgreSQL server. This would require that the port forwarding (i.e.
PostgreSQL server/port) be configured on the firewall, not in pgAdmin.
