django.db.utils.OperationalError: connection to server at "crossover.proxy.rlwy.net" (66.33.22.252), port 34005 failed: timeout expired

Database URL: postgresql://postgres:********************************@crossover.proxy.rlwy.net:34005/railway

Trying to access locally on my machine.

No obvious reason why it's not connecting.

Database is live on railway, connects with hosted project just fine, just keeps timing out now.

Django project. I set the DATABASE_URL to the public url but not working.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

So the issue here is only locally?

#

I have no problems when trying to reach your database. I would make sure that your ISP firewall does not block any Railway traffic.

Yes, I keep getting it locally :/

#

Actually it worked only one time so far when I tried to run a command but keeps failing now

Can you try another network or increase the timeout?

I don't know a lot about networking I'm just on my pc 😅

#

By network I would mean a mobile network, basically any other internet access you got

#

Oh I see

#

Let me check

#

Wow! It worked!

#

That's strange

Great to know. As I said earlier, this is definitely a problem with your ISP or firewall. I recommend looking into it.
