Hi all,

Probably a basic question wich has been asked before, but I couldn't find it.
I access a mysql database from my delphi application using port 3306 (although of course I can change the port number).
But this posses a severe security risk. Besides using things like ssl is there another way to avoid having a port open on the LAMP server?

Thanks
Simon

MyDAC supports two different ways to increase connection security. They are SSH and SSL. Both SSH and SSL can be implemented with SecureBridge components. Usage of SecureBridge is the handiest and fastest way to ensure protected connection to MySQL server.
