I&#39;m trying to perform a relatively trivial task: I want to connect to a Heroku database. I have created the database and have been issued credentials from the Heroku site. However, when I try to connect to this database using **anything** besides the terminal &#39;heroku&#39; command line client, I get fatal errors or cannot connect errors.

The two tools that I tried to connect with outside of the Heroku terminal application are: Navicat and IntelliJ.

The error that I receive in Navicat when trying to connect to the database is:

    could not connect to server: Host is down
    	Is the server running on host &quot;ec2-107-21-112-215.compute-1.amazonaws.com&quot; and accepting
    	TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

My connection settings are as follows:

**Connection Name** Heroku Dev Test 

**Host Name/IP Address** ec2-107-21-112-215.compute-1.amazonaws.com

**Port** 5432

Navicat doesn&#39;t even seem to be making an attempt to connect to that hostname.

When I try to connect with IntelliJ, using the full credentials, I get the following error:

    java.sql.SQLException: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host &quot;75.168.4.146&quot;, user &quot;rphbqggxeokuxl&quot;, database &quot;dc008iqk0rq4j5&quot;, SSL off

Again, I&#39;m using the credentials that the Heroku application provides me with when accessing my database on their website.

Has anyone ran into this Heroku connection issue before?
