I cannot receive an SSL certificate for an ODBC database connection between my local machine and my hosting service. If I know my network is secure and my hosting service’s network is secure, how worried should I be about data being intercepted between our two connections? In this situation is there any other way to retrieve data securely?
This is pretty much the perfect use case for SSH. Set up a tunnel and then make a connection that way. Here’s a tutorial for an ODBC connection from Windows to MySQL.
