Davinci Resolve 19.1.3 on MacOS Sequoia 15.3 - Cannot connect to Postgresql database on server

Hi, I'm having trouble connecting DaVinci Resolve Studio to a PostgreSQL 17 database hosted on my Proxmox server. It connects without any issues on Windows, but for some reason, it wonā€™t connect on macOS. Iā€™ve tried disabling and re-enabling the firewall, as well as adding DaVinci Resolve to the list of allowed applications for incoming connections. From my Mac, I can SSH into the PostgreSQL Docker container and connect to the database using the psql command in the terminal. Iā€™ve also double-checked the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files to ensure they are properly configured. Since DaVinci Resolve on Windows connects without any problems, there donā€™t appear to be any restrictions on the server. However, I canā€™t figure out why DaVinci on macOS refuses to connect. Iā€™ve searched through various videos and forums but havenā€™t been able to identify the root cause. Iā€™ve seen similar issues on Windows, but this setup should be straightforward. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

In the MacOS settings under Privacy & Security -> Local Network is DaVinci there/does it have access?

Why the hell did Apple add that feature. It would make sense to just let the firewall handle that

There are some apps I'd like not accessing my LAN tbh Zoom or Teams are the first ones that come to mind. No point in letting them snoop šŸ˜„

well now that you mention it, that makes sense. Just need to remember to look there. Normally I am use to just adjusting the firewall setting to restrict that stuff.

Usually there is a popup asking you the first time it tries to hit the LAN

It may have asked me a long time ago when I first installed Davinci, but forgot.

Makes sense And if you aren't using anything on LAN why would you allow it?

It didn't do that with brave, I had that issue before when trying to access some of my network services, it would keep giving me a dns error. That was because of the local network access setting. Thanks again.

Most people don't know how to do anything with a firewall, and admittedly even less mac users
