I'm planning to set up an MySQL database on a server, and connect to it over the internet (no connection to a website or anything, just a private db server). Just wondering what is the recomended way to do it, port forwarding over SSH, or using SSL. I'm leaning towards using SSH, since I have already gotten that to work and it provides a secure channel for the data transfer (which is all I need, really). Also, can anyone tell me what is fastest? I'm I right to think that both SSH and SSL encrypts the packages before sending them, or does SSH provide the security through the secure channel?
Thanx in advance for any answers!
