Using MS SQL Server on ECST-CSPROJ2

We have an MS SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition running on an Ubuntu Server 16.04 virtual machine hosted at ecst-csproj2.calstatela.edu. The server can be accessed directly on campus network (both wired and wireless), but due to campus firewall restrictions, to access the server from off-campus locations, you must use VPN.
