It seams to me that at random times I can connect to my postgres instance on railways, and somethimes i get the following error:
psql: error: connection to server at "****.proxy.rlwy.net", port **** failed: Connection refused
Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections?I'm using the DATABASE_URL direcly copied from railway to connect to my instance. Yesterday it worked no problem, today I'm getting this error.
On the railway dashboard I don't see anything wrong and it seams everything works. I'm also able to connect from my frontend hosted on vercel so it might be something to do with me trying to connect from localhost?
Any ideas what's wrong here and how to solve it?

perhaps you where trying to connect to the database from a network with a firewall that is blocking non standard ports such as the port in use by that database

Hello there, I am having the exact same issue. Did you find any answer? I think it has to do with the databases upload it needed to be done. However, if you found a solution please let me know.
