Not able to connect to Posgres DB behind a VPN

[imewish]

Bug Report

I have lambda function which talks to an RDS Postgress instance. If I connect to VPN and run sls invoke local function -f fnName the function is able to establish the connection and execute successfully.

But when I'm running with sls offline the function fails at the DB connection part with the message TypeError: Native is not a constructor. I get the same message even though I'm not connected to the VPN as well.

been struck with this issue for the last couple of days. No clue how to solve this.

DB connection code
     import { DataSource, DataSourceOptions } from 'typeorm';

    console.log('RDS connection not established, connecting');
      const dbOptions: DataSourceOptions = {
        type: 'postgres',
        host: dbInfo.DB_PROXY_HOST,
        port: dbInfo.DB_PORT,

      };
      const db = new DataSource(dbOptions);
      console.log(dbOptions);

      instance = await db.initialize();
