This guide walks you through connecting to your local PostgreSQL database remotely using ngrok TCP endpoints.

​
What you’ll need

  • PostgreSQL installed and running locally.
  • An ngrok account.
  • Your ngrok authtoken.
  • A valid payment method added to your account (TCP endpoints are only available on a free plan after adding a valid payment method).

​
Expose your PostgreSQL database

After installing the database, you can connect to it using a standard ngrok TCP endpoint sending traffic to port 5432. 
ngrok tcp 5432

​
Connect to your database

Once ngrok is forwarding traffic to your PostgreSQL service, you can use the TCP address provided to connect to it remotely. 
psql -h 0.tcp.ngrok.io -p 12345 -U postgres -d postgres
