If you plan on connecting only from the localhost host or via an ssh tunnel you block port 3306 at the firewall or router. What exactly are you looking to accomplish?

I can do a telnet host.com 3386 and get a answer back from mysql. Is the
only way to turn off remote access like this with a router and limit the
ports, or is there some setting in mysql that will not allow outside
connections other than from a IP range I tell it to?
