Network Requirements

dbaBrain connects to your database over the standard PostgreSQL protocol (port 5432 by default). You need to allow inbound connections from dbaBrain IP ranges. For cloud databases, add our IPs to your security group or firewall rules.

For databases behind a VPN or private network, use the optional dbaBrain agent which makes an outbound HTTPS connection instead.

Browser Requirements

The dbaBrain dashboard works in all modern browsers: Chrome 90+, Firefox 90+, Safari 15+, Edge 90+.
