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.
