I have a SQL Server 2000 field that I would like to include on the Internet so that developers can connect remotely without access to a VPN.
What is the safest way to do this? This may be temporary, for example. from time to time, but it is definitely necessary.
Thanks,
Rob
The short answer is don't do it.
Long answer:
Set a good firewall in the field.
Install and run ssh server on it.
Open only ssh port.
PuTTY SSH "tunnel" sql- ssh-.

Fortunately, I used very long and complex passwords ... and I do not believe that I have ever been compromised.
