Re: making mysql secure via encrypting and blocking a port
Hi Matt
I can only speak for the Windows side
I have some experience using the Local Security Policies that can be found on Windows Systems. In fact this represents an IPSEC implementation at operating system level. Windows provides this functionality since Version 2000 but actually only a few people know about it.
In your example you would let the Windows Firewall pass traffic to port 3306 and define an IPSEC policy that requires encryption (3DES/SHA1) and use authentication based on a preshared key. (Alternatively you could use Kerberos as scheme, but this requires both systems to be integrated in a common directory)
To allow the client to communicate with the MYSQL Server you will need to define a matching policy on the client.
Hope this helps!
Sandro
