SQLyog is also available in 3 other editions. If you are working with MySQL frequently, the productivity tools of SQLyog Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate can save you countless hours. You can download a 30-day trial. Prices start from $69/user, with free updates (for major & minor versions) for one year.

SQLyog gives you a choice between four different connectivity options. No matter whatever your firewall/proxy/ISP settings are, you should be able to smartly manage your MySQL Server(s). The various connectivity options (in the order of responsiveness and network efficiency) are:
1. Direct connection using MySQL C API: This is by far the fastest way to connect and manage your MySQL server. This is the preferred method if you are not concerned about your MySQL traffic being spoofed. However, this requires direct access to your MySQL server. Most ISPs block the MySQL port or disallow remote access.
2. SSH Tunneling: Use this option if you need to encrypt the contents of your MySQL traffic, but still want the efficiency of the MySQL C API. If your host supports SSH tunneling, SQLyog can use the tunnel to communicate with MySQL.
3. HTTP Tunneling: This option saves your day if your ISP/MySQL provider disallows remote access, either my blocking the MySQL port or by giving access to "localhost" only. The response is slow compared to the previous options since the data is XML encoded and HTTP is stateless by nature. However, you can use all the cool features of SQLyog (and start getting more sleep!).
4. HTTPS Tunneling : This option is similar to HTTP Tunneling but adds another layer of security by establishing a secure channel.
5. SSL Encryption: With this option all communication between SQLyog and the MySQL server is encrypted. The MySQL server must support this option. Not all servers do!
