PostgreSQL by itself is hard to put on the internet.

The pg_hba file goes out or it’s way to make it difficult to even connect locally easily.

Nevertheless you would do it so that your db server can be reached by the other machines.

Sigh.

I suppose not fire-walling everything would be someone’s own fault.

And not setting proper passwords.

And not turning on SSL.
