I was thinking if there was a tool that could proxy connections only to database.
- icedchai 6y agoSSH tunnels work. But you still need to control access to the bastion server / outside host system.
- vaibhavgeek 6y agoThinking of building a chrome extension with authentication for that.
- hitpointdrew 6y agoI am not sure there is anything simpler. Anything else you could do is just moving your problem upstream. Throw a connection pooler in front of the database and have the users connect to that? Well sure, you could that. But doesn't really help you. You now can tell the database to only accept connections from this pooler, but now you are just moved your whitelist management problem upstream to the connection pooler, if you don't whitelist manage the pooler, then you are effectively just exposing the database to the open internet.
