Cannot connect to PostgreSQL database from PowerBI Desktop

 

When trying to connect to PostgreSQL database from PowerBI

 

After installing the recommended Npgsql-4.0.7.msi driver I get this error

 

Unable to Connect

 

"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

 

Has anyone solved this issue?
