I'm running PostgreSQL on my box, and need to have some VMs I run connect to it. I'd not propose that port 5432 was open by default though.
As Elad said in the email you replied to:
Right now in the firewalld policy in Fedora Workstation any non-root port is unblocked by default.
I haven't checked yet, but to me that means that port 5432 is open by default.
Duh! Yes, of course; I wasn't thinking.
The reason that example was in my mind is that very day I ran into the problem of a VM being unable to connect via port 5432. Admittedly I'd had to start postgresql manually (using systemctl) owing to a stale lock file, might that have made a difference? The port definitely wasn't open.
