Thread: pgAdminIII via VPN

But with puTTY you are connecting to the Master server via telnet/ssh and
then connecting to PostgreSQL from that server. So PostgreSQL sees the
connection as coming from the Master server, which is presumably allowed in
your pg_hba.conf. When connecting directly to PostgreSQL from your laptop,
you need to allow connections from your laptop in your pg_hba.conf file.

make an entry for your laptop IP in the pg_hba.conf file on the server. It
would work.
