So, a VPN then?

A VPN generally connects networks, so that’s probably overkill for a database connection, but sure you could use one. Or something like stunnel, etc. or you could just use the built in feature already in Postgres. Why such resistance to simply having this option?

It’s something akin to a layer violation to have a database server running openssl and encrypting its own communication. It isn’t it’s business at all.
