The PostgreSQL service

  • Runs on port 5432 (by default).

  • Normally, the machine running the PostgreSQL service is on your machine, or in your local network.

  • It is bad practice to have a database server exposed on the internet.

  • E.g. postgres.eecs.tufts.edu is available inside the Tufts EECS network, but not from outside of it.
