title: Access Postgres running on Mac OS X from Windows 10 (Parallels) dbForge Studio
body: <p>I am currently developing a <strong>Golang</strong> app and I am using PostgreSQL. The thing is, I found <strong><a href="https://www.devart.com/dbforge/postgresql/studio/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL</a></strong> which I would like to try. However, for some reasons, I am not able to connect to my database, I don't understand why.</p>
  
  <p>I created a "ServerTest" with <em>Postgres.App</em> (on Mac OS), running on <code>localhost:5432</code>. It has 3 database:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>emixam23</li>
  <li>postgres</li>
  <li>template1</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>From <em>dbForge Studio Express</em>, I tried to open a connection:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>Host:</strong> 127.0.0.1</li>
  <li><strong>Post:</strong> 5432</li>
  <li><strong>User:</strong> root </li>
  <li><strong>Password:</strong> root</li>
  <li><em>Allow saving password checked</em></li>
  <li><strong>Database:</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><code>Connection Name: 127.0.0.1</code></p>
  
  <p>It fails : <code>Error: 08006: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:5432
  CONNECTION FAILURE</code></p>
  
  <p>However, after some researches on internet, it seems that it's a bit different than localhost since it's a virtual machine windows, so I tried from my rooter address:</p>
  
  <p><strong>10.211.55.2</strong></p>
  
  <p>But still, it doesn't work, same error. Do you have any idea why?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help !</p>
