Re: connect external app via pgadmin

But pgAdmin runs at the same ports, so You need them to be opened.

You can set in pgconf allowed IP pool.
You can change default port no por postgresql

Maybe You can consider "hardware" solution: on Your gateway make in
firewall rule for specific IP address with port mapping/triggering
e.g. If Your pg is on default port 5432 make an rule that from if somebody
from external will try to connect via 87654 port will be redirected to 5432

I don't know how Your infrastructure looks like so i can't give you more
detailed solution
