Well...if it's truly a client/server app, why not have the client app talk to the server who actually executes the SQL. That way no remote access to the database is required.
IMHO, it's a 'bad thing' to have your database exposed to the internet....

At my company we are looking at deploying clients for our client/server app outside our firewall, which will then require our postgres box to be internet-accessible.
Does anyone out there have experience with this or recommended best practices? We have been looking at either (a) tunnelling everything over ssh, or (b) just making sure that users have "strong" passwords and requiring "md5" authentication in pg_hba.conf.
