| Hi, Is there any concerns or problems with forward a port to SQL server from our internet firewall so that you can access the databases over the internet? Is it a standard practice to do this in order to remotely access the SQL server. Or is there a better way to do this? Also, if it is ok to do this are any things you need to do to enhance your security from vulnerabilities being open to the internet.Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated on this subject.Thanks |

| We use SSH tunneling to do secure port forwarding so I'd say that or VPN. |
