I just downloaded and installed MySQL on a windows machine. I will only be using it from the same machine. I would like to make sure that no remote connections can be made to my server. What is the way I should do this? I am using windows. I disabled TCP/IP access altogether but it seems connections through pipes don’t work (is this a windows thing?) Thanks.
Make sure your server listens to
127.0.0.1ip instead of0.0.0.0This can either be done by editing
my.ini/my.cnffile or by editing the mysql service in windows.Add following line to your
my.inifile in[mysqld]sectionSee more on manual
