Re: pgadmin firewall configuration

No, Pg Admin connects to 5432 as that is PostgreSQL's server port.

One popular misconfiguration I've seen is that the connection/traffic is
*to* port 5432 on the server, not from port 5432 on the client.

So, depending on your firewall you need rule 1 on it's own (if it
supports keeping state) or rule 1 AND 2:

Rule 1: Allow from <client IP> to <server IP> destination port 5432
source port any
Rule 2: Allow from <server IP> to <client IP> destination port any
source port 5432

If that doesn't work, post the relevant section of your firewall
configuration.
