I am doing work on a server with a postgresql database from home, where I have a dynamic IP, so I use the no-ip ddns service to map my ip to a host name.
I want to edit the pg_hba.conf file so that I can get into the database from home (not setting it to all hosts), but it doesn’t seem to work with the host name. Is there anyway to make it work?
This won’t work, because the DNS name in
pg_hba.confneeds to match the reverse DNS- IP-to-name- lookup result for your IP address: this is assigned by your connectivity provider, and ddns doesn’t touch it (just provides an extra forward- name-to-IP- entry).
