1. Make sure that remote connections are allowed in your SQL Server.
2. If you‘re using SQL Server Express, make sure the server is configured to accept incoming TCP/IP connections.
3. Use the IP address of the computer running SQL Server and the port number assigned to SQL Server (by default it is 1433) to open the connection.
4. Configure your network firewall to allow connections to SQL Server port (default port 1433).
5. Use a trusted SSL certificate to encrypt the connection.
The most common way to access a SQL Server from outside a network is to use a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN allows a computer to securely connect to a private network over the internet, allowing the user to access resources on the network as if they were directly connected to it. Additionally, a SQL Server can also be accessed from outside a network using a web interface, such as SQL Server Management Studio, or using a secure remote access method like Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
