Can't connect to postgres

[Winged Guy]

I can't load HM, cause it can't connect to postgreSQL.

Thing is it worked 1 hour ago. I rebooted and it doesn't. No system changes have been made.

I know firstly wonder if i'm the only one who has such an issue?

Had the same issue and disabling the firewall has solved it. Now after I turned the firewall back on it seems to work fine despite me not changing any setting. The Holdem Manager and postgres have already been in trusted applications.

Nevermind, turns out I did not turn my firewall back on properly. After turning it back on HM is back to being unable to connect to postgre. I am using avira plus Windows Firewall. Is there something besides Holdem Manager and postgres that I need to add to exceptions?

After restarting my PC once again everything seems to work now with the firewall being on... Don't understand what is going on. Sorry for the spam.
