MySQL remote connections
Hello,I'd like to know your opinions on this matter. What are the risks in allowing MySQL remote connections? I've met a few people who think it is a large security risk, and some who don't think it is much of a risk at all.
I do have a few customers who like to connect remotely, so I don't want to disable it without good reason.
Further, is it possible to enable only certain IP addresses to connect remotely? I'm using CPanel 10.1.0.
Thanks for any comments on this.
