I installed PostgreSQL 12, PostGIS, and pgAdmin4 in server mode. I could access pgAdmin4 through the domain name. However, when I tried to access the PostgreSQL database via QGIS or RStudio it gave the below error:
Is the server running on host <ServerName> and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I set my postgresql.conf
file with
local_address = '0.0.0.0'
and pg_hba.conf
with
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
host all all ::/0 md5
Even after this change, I could not access the database through QGIS, so I referred to this http://www.project-open.com/en/howto-postgresql-port-secure-remote-access. As per this process, I executed:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5432/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
Now, I can access the database through QGIS but cannot access the pgAdmin4 which now gives the error:
The connection has timed out
The server at <ServerName> is taking too long to respond
Execution of $ netstat -na
result:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

I feel this is due to the firewall changes but I am not experienced enough to figure this out. Any help would be great, Thank you!
Server: Ubuntu 20.04
I resolved this issue by setting the appending the port 80/tcp
in the firewall by using the below commands:
Status before appending:
$ firewall-cmd --list-all
public
target: default
icmp-block-inversion: no
interfaces:
sources:
services: dhcpv6-client ssh
ports: 5432/tcp
protocols:
masquerade: no

Adding 80/tcp:
$ firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
$ firewall-cmd --reload
$ firewall-cmd --list-all
