    I will be using the hotspot with my laptop, so phone battery, thank goodness is not an issue.

    While on the road, I have used VPN / RDP across sketchy McDonalds and hotel room hotspots. It works OK in terms of bandwidth, allowing for stretches of uninterrupted work, but you may have occasional disconnects, like every half hour.

  • Haven't seen a phone like that in a while:)

  • To connect to your remote MySQL server you need the following things:

    IP of server and port on which MySQL is running.

    The network should allow your public IP or all IP to connect to your remote MySQL server via the port on which MySQL is running.

    A MySQL user with hostname as “%” or your public IP.

    When these things are configured, you are ready to connect to your remote MySQL server.
