If your database is running locally (e.g., 127.0.0.1), you will need to use tunneling software to expose your local database to the internet. This will enable Forest Admin to connect to it. Some popular tunneling software options include:
- Ngrok
- Bastion
- Localtunnel
Choose a tunneling software that suits your needs and follow its documentation to set up the connection.
