I want to use MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser on a remote mysql server.
Should I just change the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 to accept all connections or is there a more secure way.
Thanks

I recommend that you connect to your database server using Putty and establish an SSH tunnel connection, once you have a tunnel established then you can connect to your database server from MySQL Tools, HeidiSQL or other programs.
Read this http://realprogrammers.com/how_to/set_up_an_ssh_tunnel_with_putty.html page for instructions on how to configure.
