Hi guys,
I’m tearing my hair out!
I’ve done a tonne of research on connecting to this postgres instance, which is housed on a droplet (even just a basic connection).
So far I’ve: -Changed the postgres port on the Droplet to 5433 (I already have a local postgres server so wanted to avoid clashes?) -updated the pg_hba.conf file with
host all all (My public IP)/32 md5
listen_addresses = '*'
changed the postgres password to 1234 for my ‘postgres’ user (otherwise it would have no p/w)
restarted postgresql on the droplet.
Now I’m trying to set up a server on PgAdmin4 and using the Droplet IP as the Host Name, port 5433, username postgres and password 1234. No role or service.
Result is: ‘Unable to connect to server: timeout expired’
I’ve tried changing pg_hba to ‘trust’ instead, and to allowing all IPs (0.0.0.0/0), but I’m just not getting anything back from the droplet at all.
Any ideas?

Hi there @simondavidmusic01,
What I could suggest is to run the following command to check if your PostgreSQL service is listening on 0.0.0.0
:
netstat -plant
Another thing that I could suggest is to use an SSH tunnel with your SQL client rather than allowing direct access to the database for the whole world.
