I have set up a postgres DB associated with my AppEngine project. It is a ‘Dev Database’.
trying to connect to this DB via the connection parameters in the settings page.
get this error
could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host "app-17c69336-3fb2-4577-ba9e-01536e399e5d-do-user-429234-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com" (143.244.178.123) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 25060?
some answers in this community suggest changing firewall settings but this doesn’t appear to be possible through the settings UI.
Some other answers suggest changing trusted sources but my settings UI only suggests ‘Add App as a trusted source’
Please advise how I can access this DB via sql either from my local machine or any equivalent sql interface.

Ok, stoopid me, it’s similar to this issue (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/trusted-sources-not-allowing-connections-from-my-ip) i.e. the ‘Add app as a trusted source’ setting. If this is unchecked, apparently everybody in the universe AND me can now access the database.
How do I add my computers IP to trusted sources???
