Question

 

Why am I unable to connect to a MySQL database remotely?

 

Answer

 

You will need to add any IP address you will be connecting to MySQL from to the Access Hosts list in cPanel >> Databases >> Remote MySQL. This interface controls which remote hosts are allowed to connect to databases on the cPanel account remotely.

 

You will also need to ensure that MySQL is configured to listen publicly:
