Configuring Remote MySQL Access

Remote MySQL Access

Overview

For security reasons, remote MySQL access is disabled by default. If you need to connect to your database from an external application, server, or development environment, you can allow access for specific IP addresses.

Please note that changes can take up to 30 minutes to become active.

Database User

Select the database user that should be allowed to connect remotely.

Only the selected database user will be able to connect from the specified IP address.

IP Address

Enter the public IP address of the device or server that needs database access.

Example:
