Yes the ODBC driver (as well as all decent postgres clients) does
support SSL. You can choose SSL mode: disable/prefer/allow/require.

Other method? Encrypted tunnels. VPNs. this kind of stuff.

Remember that establishing SSL session is resource - expensive. This
can be important if you plan lots of connections.
