Hello all,
I have a question about changing the port number of Databases
server. It was told to me that is a good administrative practice to
change the port number of the services, like change the 5432 to 6985
or any other number. This is for security reasons. Is really a good
practice?
Well, not really. Anyone who wants to get in, is just going to scan your
ports to find out what is open anyway. What you really need to do
is have a decent firewall in place and correctly configure postgresql
from the beginning.
