How to connect to a sql-server through internet?

Hi,
after I tried it a few times without success, I'm searching for a step by
step guide how I can realize a odbc-connection to a sql-server through the
internet.
In the local Network where the Server is installed the port 1433 is opened,
directed to the server and I know the WAN-IP-Adress and the Name of the
Computer on which the sql-server is installed.
I don't want to establish the connection through vpn. This works, but when I
am connected to the server through vpn I am not able to work in the clients
local Network.
Do I need anything more? - How do I have to go step by step?
thx in advance for your help and ideas why I'm successless in the past

Do you have TCP/IP protocol enabled for the SQL Server? Is it
configured to work with port 1433? All this could be done by using SQL
Server Network Utility.
