Let me write an exact situation to make the answer easier: The postgresql server must also be running SSH server. You use the SSH client to forward the postgresql port to your local computer. Your client computer does not need to have a domain name. > - PostgreSQL is newly installed, so now everything is set to default values. > - The PostgreSQL server is runing on a computer with a domain name for > example "my.pgserver.com" and listening on port 5432. So for you the SSH comand line would be ssh -v -L 5432:localhost:5432 dbuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > - A client application is running on this remote computer. This > application would like to connect to the PostgreSQL server on > "my.pgserver.com" and fetch some data from a table. You open your client and point it to localhost:5432 SSH is forwarding the distant 5432 port to your local computer through a secure tunnel. This is totally transparent for server and client - the server needs no configuration. You can forward the postgres port to another port number if you wish (for example you are running a postgresql server on your local machine too).
