you cant host with router to your wan ip. your cert should bind on wan ip, but it cant. use hamachi, or any vpn.

you need to turn on 1433 to be open in the configurations "i can provide more details if you like"


and you need to open the port 1433 to only be available to your 2nd server ip!


and you will be done :D

Im not sure it's good whit that jangan :)

Go on server use currport to get ip of 2nd server use cherno hack for Down Mssql by 2nd Dedi whit port 1433 open ! Realy risky i think :)
Didn't tested but i will do it this evening on my own to see if it's pass or no ;)

Summary:
Alright, i know i haven't been around here releasing lately, been very distracted and have been resenting the ragezone community, sorry i am back now and i will be writing some seriously amazing guides here! Noob friendly guides and other things too!


Objective
* We going to be managing the TCP connections and blocking the following ports -> 32000, 15880, 15882, 15885, 15883, 8080, 1433, 3306 <-
* Set mssql to local
* Set odbc to local

Result
Secures your ports
Secures your connections

Difficulty
Hard

-----------------------------------------------------------
- Alright, lets get started with the guide -
-----------------------------------------------------------

Step 1) Fire walls, knowing and understanding the firewall!

- So this guide is actually built for Windows RC2 but you can still probably get the same idea working on windows or linux or mac or whatever the hell you use to run your server on! IF you are running your website on 8080, then dont block 8080, else block 8080.

• Step 1a) Turn on your windows firewall

• Step 1b) Run mmc.exe [Windows Firewall with advanced security]
  
  • Click on New Rule
  • Choose Protocols and Ports
    
    • Click Next
    
    
  • Click TCP
  • Click Specific Local Ports
  • Type 15880, 15882, 15885, 15883, 32000, 8080, 1433, 3306
    
    • Click Next
    
    
  • Block the Connection
    
    • Click Next
    • Click Next again
    
    
  • Put a Name and description
    
    • Click Finish
    
    
  
  

So now we pretty much closed down all the ports that are open to public, you can verify this by using an online port scanner! Online Port Scan | Port Scanning | Port Scanner | Port Checker verify that all these ports are closed! You dont ever need a reason to have them open in the first place


Step 2) Making your SQL Connection Local

- This will pretty much make your remote connection local, so if anyone knows your database username/password you will never be hacked because they cant do shit with it anyways!! Because your sql/port are all local host!
THIS IS ONLY FOR 2005 EXPRESS NOT 2008 RC2

• Step 1) Run SqlSAC.exe [SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration]
  
  • Click on Surface Area Configuration for services and conenctions
  • Click on Remote Connections
  • Click Local Connection Only
    
    • Click ok
    
    
  
  

Step 3) Making your ODBC Connection Local

- This will make your ODBC connection local, so there are methods where it was easy to just open your certificate and get the connection information of your odbc/sql data but this should help fix that!

• Step 1) Run odbcad32.exe [ODBC Data Source Administrator]
• Step 2) Notice how all these guides make you add information in the System DNS, well instead of that, add it to User DNS. Read the description under both and you might understand why!

You my friend are a legend.

didn't work with me any idea

[Jangan]

didn't work with me any idea

pls Bro am ready To do any thing you wont Just help me :S

Sorry but i am not your private army...
Read the guide and it will solve all your problems, if you have more than 1 game server, then use search because me and other wrote on how to fix that too.


Also, i would of helped you privately but i hated your comments, the flaw is not in my tutorial, it is in you for not reading it.
