I have a Postgres database on digitalocean. I am able to connect to it from my pod in Kubernetes. However, when I try to connect to it using pgadmin, or sqlectron, I get connection timeouts.
Error invoking remote method 'DB_CONNECT': Error: connect ETIMEDOUT
The logs show that it connects, then times out. Please what am I missing?
I have added my ip address to the trusted sources for the database.

Hi there,
It sounds like you might have a dynamic IP address, I could suggest verifying that your IP has not changed by visiting a website like https://ifconfig.io/ for example.
If your IP has changed, I could suggest adding the new one to the trusted sources and then trying again.
If your IP is still the same I could suggest a few more things:
- Check if you can actually reach the port using
telnetfor example:
telnet your_database_url 25061
- If
telnetworks, try connecting withpsqlto verify that it is not a problem with the SQL client that you are using - If your IP address is changing frequently, you might want to spin up a VPN server and use it to connect to your database instead:

Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
