I need to connect my hosted vps in a data center to my sql server so I can pull info out of a database for our website. I setup a vpn by the windows dialup vpn wizard. It works fine but when I logoff the VPS it disconnects the VPN is there an easier way to do this. Any one know a way to keep the vpn alive when logged off. I don't want to open up port 1433 to the world.

Jump to PostIf your machine which hosts SQL Server has static IP, you can connect it without need to VPN, using normal connection string, and instead of machine name you can write the IP.
Another way is to ask in Network forums http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum13.html they may have a solution around VPN
