[ADMIN] Postgres and Firewall

[Chetan Parekh]

We have Postgress Database running on machine with ip address
192.168.0.1 on port no 5432.

 

We want to access this database from outside the firewall. Hence we need
to open port no 5432 of 192.168.01 in firewall for outside users. But in
firewall configuration we need to provide the type of call also like
https, https, ect.

 

We have Swing based application that need to access database over
internet. 

 

Please guild me, what kind of call it will be from Swing based
application to database

!DSPAM:37,45954a6a31941048546528! 
It's a PostgreSQL client library using the PostgreSQL protocol that does 
the talking.
You sound like you're using a fairly restrictive firewall, generally 
allowing traffic from/to a certain IP and port number is all that is 
required - is there a generic TCP option at all in your firewall?
