How can I connect to my server over the internet

I need to make connections from my app to the server in the officeHello Joe,
Ask your network administrator to set up a VPN so that you can connect into
the office and communicate securely. Using a VPN is as simple to use as a
dial up connection. Usually easier because you don't have a modem to worry
about.

You will need to get directions them from your web hosting company on how
to make the connection. I know the ones I use have step-by-step directions
which may vary depending on how they have it set up.

I haven't been able to find any information on how to do this.

Ok, if that's the case then all you need to do use your your database server
s
host name, IP to connect to the database. You'll also need to make sure that
you can connect via the correct ports from your hosted application.
I would not recomend this as you are allowing open connections to your datab
ase
across the internet. You should at least only allow connections from your
hosting company.
