Feature Request: SSL support for Postgres connection

Open ElRico opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

It would be great if TabMon supported SSL encrypted connections to the Postgres database. As it stands, users with a remote Postgres database have to transfer the monitoring data in plain text, which is not ideal.

Thanks for the suggestion ElRico -- Going to mark this as a feature request. It probably wouldn't be too hard for someone to implement this using existing SSL hooks in Postgres (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ssl-tcp.html).

For any users who might be worried about this, we recommend not using TabMon to transfer monitoring data to a remote Postgres DB on an unsecured network. If you must, you can manually configure your Postgres DB to suit your security needs.
