Question on port 1433 on a remote server

Hi,I am using a remote sql server 2005 install. Our application connects directly to the dB from a desktop application and a mobile application.I was just wondering what the best way to secure this connection. Everytime we want to do a demo for a potential client we have to allow a new IP to access port 1433 in order to connect to the database. This is becoming very expensive for us. Does anyone have an idea of how we can both secure the connection to our dB and not have to keep adding new IP's too the approved list on our Firewall?Thanks very much,Tony

How about using a VPN across the firewall you could then work in the intranet.
