[QUOTE="Heaplink, post: 100634, member: 8966"] Because of security. Any time you open a port (depends how, but mostly) it will be open to both ways, incoming (client to server) and outgoing (server to client). This means people can go through that port and have a connection to that software that uses that port. And since MySQL is software and uses 3306 for this, it is a security risk. Normally only use SSH (if you got Linux or Windows with PuTTy) it's the most recommended way. [/QUOTE]
