I'm not sure that I get this. In your previous post you seemed to
be anxious that VPN would require another server. Now you are saying
that it does not.

VPN is the only that I can think of that is secure. It's possible that
you could set up a proxy through a web page (this is definitely not
the group what you can do in a web server), but it certainly sounds
dangerous to me. After all, then you are exposing SQL Server on the
Internet - which you admin folks don't like.
Since setting up VPN on the connecting side is a simple task, I'm not
really sure that I see the problem.
