Is this the regular behavior on DBLink?

This way, I fear DBLink functions should become a vulnerability issue on my database. Is there any way to protect or override this setting? Or it should be done on pg_hba.conf only?

This issue has been thoroughly discussed before. You can read more about it in f.ex these threads:
