<![CDATA[Temporarily Open DB Port]]>Thinking like a support person, I wonder if it would be a good thing (or even possible) to have a button or something that could temporarily open up the DB port through the reverse proxy of an app so one could connect to it remotely from a tool?

This feels like it could be relatively simple as a "here's a 30 minute window" from inside the app control panel.

For Postgres, I am not sure if that exists, but also the postgres addon is setup to do auth also based on connection source IP, so that likely wont work, but have never tried.
