PG Orbit ยท Features

Your database is behind a bastion. Good.

Production Postgres should not be on the public internet โ€” and PG Orbit doesn't need it to be. Point a connection at your SSH bastion and the app tunnels the Postgres wire protocol through it, exactly like ssh -L on your laptop.

Keys, done properly

Import RSA or Ed25519 private keys from a file, protect them with passphrases, or generate an RSA key on the device itself. Keys and passphrases live in your platform's secure keychain and never sync to our servers โ€” with sync on or off.

  • Password and key-based SSH authentication
  • Import RSA and Ed25519 keys; generate RSA on device
  • Passphrase storage in the device keychain
  • Connection monitoring keeps tunnels stable on flaky mobile networks

SSL/TLS when you connect directly

For databases that are reachable directly, PG Orbit supports SSL in Require and Verify-Full modes, including client certificates for mutual TLS โ€” the same options you'd pass to psql.
