We run a public SQL Server on Windows Server 2008 and had a lot of dictionary attacks in the past. To prevent that, do following 1) disable sa user 2) enable Windows Firewall, set a inbound rule ( here named sql) and lock the port 1433, then add the external IPs ( scope tab) which needs access from extern Now you are save. New problem is, what happens when you have dynamic IP address on client and need access by SQL Manager or Visual Studio Server Manager. Take really long time to solve...
