No not really...Your address that you are using for your principal connect
may be protected but Himachi but it is not like a full VPN connection which
protects all ports in and out. Check out OpenVPN at: http://openvpn.net/ and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVPN

I see logs of references to people probing ports looking for SQL Server
ports (and mysql as well I 
assume).

If I come in through a Hamachi VPN then I do not directly expose the port to
the outside world 
correct?  IOW the hacker would need to belong to my VPN network in order to
directly get to the open 
port?
