What is Insecure MySQL Connectivity ?

Some people cannot GRANT priveliges from one DB to another; insecure connectivity allows you to store the phpbb database credentials within the WordPress database.

Why is Insecure MySQL Connectivity Insecure?

The phpbb database credentials are stored in the WordPress database in CLEAR TEXT, this is bad, as anyone with access to the WP DB can get full access to phpbb. Another reason is that usually the credentials given to the phpbb application are FULL access, we only need to read the database, so it's much better to restrict access.

Can I connect to a phpbb databse on a different server?

Yes, use the Insecure Connectivity method, and change the host to the IP address of the server
