   As the others have explained - yes it is possible and there might be   
   security aspects.   
      
   However, the main problem will most likely be performance. Usually the   
   access over the Internet is much slower than on a LAN. When you run a   
   Paradox application it will often drag the complete table over the Lan   
   (queries for example). If the users are accessing the server via regular DSL   
   connection it will be very, very slow.   
      
   If you chose a Terminal Service/Remote Desktop solution you will have much   
   better performance (usually) as only the screen is updated over the WAN, but   
   there will most likely be some sort of delay which can be a problem in a app   
   with heavy input of data.   
      
   There are many different ways to approach your problem and depending on what   
   exactly you wish to accomplish the answer might be different. For example,   
   is the Internet access going to be a "full app" or is it enough with a   
   "read-only" version? How many users? Etc.
