MySQL Firewall?

[ghettoc401]

I have a dynamic ip, is there any way that i can make this easier on you guys and myself by being able to access my database without always pm'ing an admin my ip? if its a matter of having a firewall on my mysql server, i dont really need/want one on mine, if that helps.

If I do have to have a firewall on my server, is there a list of the admins that can add me to the firewall, or can any admin add me to the firewall. I dont want to keep bothering one admin about this and if one admin isnt online, im sure there are others online. Thanks in advance for all your help! :biggrin:

This has been asked before, and as all external connections need to be added to our firewall exceptions list, I seem to remember Corey saying he wasn't happy about adding a range of IP's to the firewall (as would be needed for a dynamic IP).
Can I ask, what do you need the external connection for - and why not use phpMyAdmin in cPanel?

i connect to my mysql databases to publish something called psychostats. (PsychoStats :: Comprehensive Gaming Statistics) It uses my mysql databases and it lets our clan check our stats and stuff. I can set it up manually using phpmyadmin if I have to, its just that its 10x easier using a remote mysql database connection.
