Hi Rob, You need to setup your network and/or OS firewall to block port 3306, and then if MySQL is on the same box as CF, just use 127.0.0.1 and port 3306 to connect to the DB. If CF and the DB are on different machines then configure the firewall such that only the CF server's IP can access port 3306 on the DB server.
