I need a direct connection to a MySQL server on a remote web server. So I've added to cpanel access hosts list an IP of the computer I wish to connect to the remote web server. But I can't connect, tried: telnet remote IP 3306, but no luck. I've tried on several computers with no luck. Only from my computer, it works. Am I missing something?

UPDATE:

I've contacted hosting company and they confirmed that they have firewall on, but how on Earth I could connect from my computer then? I think it will remain a mystery...

  • You have usually a firewall, that would block every access to teh mysql server. there you must open the port. But caution it os never a good idea to connect a mysql serv direct to the internet, it will be attacked immediately, that why most developer implement a rest api and connect via http only. for configuration of server exist also a sister site serverfaut.

    "Am I missing something?" A lot of details for sure. Find what is different between "my computer" and the other "several computers".

  • @mustaccio sorry for such short details I've posted, but it is just like that when I put address of my computer in remote access hosts it work, but it doesn't work from the computer it should work. Of course I put that IP address there too, like something else is blocking it.

  1. you must be have user with host % and grant level like root user
  2. You can test telnet or remote mysql from cpanel server if success networking or firewall issue is solved because your mysql server can access from other client. if not you must be check from networking level and firewall level probably default port mysql is blocked.
