Anyway I would ask to you some more thing about this topic: I've been reading here [ http://library.linode.com/databases/postgresql/pgadmin-windows http://library.linode.com/databases/postgresql/pgadmin-windows ] that you can access remotely creating a VPN channel. What are the real advantages of creating a VPN, if you have already set your server like this for example: host all all zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz/32 md5 I mean, don't you already have an md5 encrypted channel between the server and zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz ? Thank you for reading.
