title: Completely disable remote access to SQL Server
body: <p>I'm on the panic-mode. Today, when navigating to my website, I saw the website was down because of SQL Server timeouts (after an attack with million of login attempts.) ASP.Net pages can't be processed, because SQL Server requests just don't work. </p>
  
  <p>Is there an on/off button for remote access in SQL Server 2008? I saw a lot of vague threads about adding firewall rules. I will never need to remotely access SQL Server, so I don't need to filter access, I just need to limit it to 127.0.0.1. Is this feasible?</p>
