Re: Using Connector/NET with SSL

Tom,

If you are connecting outside your lan then I'd suggest using SSH to vpn in first and then connect into mysql.

There is a better connector ( no offense Reggie, you are understaffed) then the open source .net connector.

http://www.crlab.com/mysqlnet/

This connector has both SSH and SSL capabilities. But I'd say don't open up port 3306 over the internet. At least from what I've read its a little more secure to SSH into a box that has OpenSSH installed on it.

I'm not a 100% sure on this and I'd love to hear some further feedback.
