No, not “through coding in VB.NET”.
VB.Net must communicate using the MySQL communication protocol, which does not support encryption directly.
However, your VB.NET code can communicate securely with MySQL.
The MySQL recommendation is to use SSL to secure communications at the transport layer. That has nothing to do with VB.Net and everything to do with setting up the SSL connection and using an appropriate connection string (include
SSL Mode=Requiredin the connection string).For details see
