I have a PostgreSQL 9.4 Database running on my CentOS 7 Server.
This database has only ever been available to users on the LAN, however recently I needed to make it available to users outside the LAN which I did using port forwarding for port 5432 on the server using our Netgear ADSL Router.
My PostgreSQL database has been configured
postgresql.conf
listen_addresses = '*'
pg_hba.conf
host dbname usname all md5
Everything seems to be working fine, the users can access the database from the internet however there are several times during the day where they cannot connect.
When I check the logs it's always when I see the message
FATAL canceling authentication due to timeout
Why is this? Do I need to add further configurations to accommodate this?
