Hello PLUGgers! Can I ask if TCP wrappers can be used to restrict access to MySQL (port 3306)? We have a database server, and for some reasons, we can't use iptables to filter access to the port. The server uses TCP wrapper to restrict access on sshd but what about mysqld?
I tried this on my PC and it seems that TCP wrappers don't work for mysqld, unlike sshd. I've been googling around and some forums say that adding rules in TCP wrappers _can_ filter access to the port. That is why I am confused as to why my MySQL still accepts connections from remote hosts that should be denied, even if I put deny rules. Any help will be appreciated.
