How to connect to a remote PostgreSQL database?

Question

There's a PostgreSQL database installed on an external server. I have PostgreSQL installed on my local computer and I'm connected to that server via OpenVPN.

Settings on my local computer:

• listen_addresses = '*' (postgresql.conf)
• host all all ::0/0 md5 and host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 (pg_hba.conf)

How do I connect to the database on my local computer? What IP address do I need?

Answer 1

The IP address of remote server. You can try psql or pgAdmin.
