You can use tunneled connections over SSH or other technologies.

Not by itself, but it can use the tunnel above. Basically, you tell it
that the database is on localhost, then your tunnelling program listens
to the port on localhost, and forwards the data to the actual server.

This page has a nice explanation of how to do it with VNC. To do it with
a database server, or anything else that uses HTTP for that matter, just
change the port numbers appropriately.
