Dear MySQL Connector/NET community,

We are proud to announce that version 8.0.17 is introducing support for SSH tunneled connections through the classic MySQL protocol and X Protocol. SSH enables the creation of secure encrypted connections between the local and a remote computer allowing services or components to be accessed, MySQL Server in this case. With SSH tunneling, users can connect to a MySQL Server from behind a firewall when the server port is blocked. The server doesn’t require any additional configuration for this type of connection and continues to work as usual.

Users can also add an extra layer of security by making use of SSL over SSH connections, which brings us to the second announcement. Connector/NET previously included support for SSL connections via PFX certificates, which are exclusive to Windows. However, now the support for SSL …

The MySQL Development Team is very excited and proud of what was achieved in this 8.0.17 GA release!

The Answer Connect and Observe
