Hi guys..
We have a public web server running MySQL. I need to give certain users a special program that allows them to connect to the MySQL server via the internet.. no problem..
However - I would like to encrypt that link - I have looked at putting VPN type technology in but this is quite costly.
The application they will be using is a WIN32 (Delphi 4) application and the Web Server is a RedHat (well.. it WAS RedHat) 6.1 install..
Does anyone have some good ideas on how to do this a little cheaper?
I was hoping I could just get a win32 library which would allow me to port forward to an encrypted tunnel (ssl?) on the Win32 Box and then port forward on the Linux server back to MySQL.
I have played with a package called wrapssl that will create an ssl link between arbitrary ports. I used it to secure an Imap mail server but I think it can be used for somthing like securing a mysql port. I am not sure if ther is a windows port though.
You also might want to check out SSH (which run on almost everything). It has facilities to do arbitrary port redirection, doing transparent encryption along the way.
