Unexpected authentication behaviour

Hi Admins,

I have strange issue that I can't explain to myself:

I want to use scram-sha-256 authentication on postgresql 16.
Parameter password_encryption is set to scram-sha-256. I defined a user with scram-sha-256 encoded password.
My pg_hba.conf have following lines:

# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all all peer
host all all samenet md5

Even though there is defined md5 authentication method for remote logins in pg_hba.conf I can make remote login to my postgresql server which is unexpected behaviour of postgresql.
What did I miss?

Best regards!
