Power BI desktop connection to PostgresSQL

Details: 'An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it' ' ".

Hi @_Jimmy21,

What version of data driver are you used? Did this match with the remote data source that you try to connect? In addition, any specific policies or firewall rules than enabled on your device and the server that host the data source? They may also affect the data connections.
