What is the exact error message you're getting? Did you restart the server after changing pg_hba.conf? Also, I don't think "local" rules do anything on windows - you need to add a "host" rule as the connections are over TCP/IP (though I could be wrong). > I still cannot connect through a VPN.

That does seem odd - you should need the -p option for anything other than the standard port. Is there any chance that you have more than one installation running on the machine, and the other one is listening on port 5432?
