You need to make sure the Less IPs are whitelisted from your MySQL database. You can find the IPs here.You need to have a user account with write access to the database to be able to use the PostgreSQL destination.

​
Setup

For most PostgreSQL databases, you can use the default connection method. However, if you are using a database that requires SSH, you can use the SSH connection method.
Neon, Supabase, PlanetScale, Aurora,Redshift, and other PostgreSQL-compatible databases are supported. Basically, any PostgreSQL database is supported.
To connect to a PostgreSQL database, the easiest is to find your connection string. This is usually found in the database’s settings (alternatively, ask your database admin for a connection string). It looks something like this: 
postgresql://myuser:mypassword123@db.example.com:5432
Which maps to the following: 
postgresql://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>
Save those values for the steps below.
1

Account

The first step is input host, port (almost always 5432), and the name of the database you want to extract data from.
2

Credentials

Input your username and password from the connection string you found above.
3

SSH

We recommend trying without SSH first if you’re in doubt. If you are using a database that requires SSH, you can use the SSH connection method.Input your SSH host, SSH port, SSH username, and SSH password from the database’s settings.You can also choose to use a private key instead of a password. Just check the “I want to use an SSH Key” checkbox and upload your private key file.

Test Connection

Once you have input your account and credential information, you need to validate your connection. Click “Test Connection” to confirm that we can connect to the database. Note that we do not change error message coming from the database.
