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.

 

Regards, Dave
