MySql WorkBench 10060 error while connecting - mysql

Question

I'm having problem with connecting to my mysql through mysql work bench. when i create the connection and click on test connection, after 1-2 minutes it says:
failed to connect to MySQL at xxx:3306 with user root.
Lost connection to MySql server at 'waiting for initial communcation packet', system error: 10060
and when i just click connect after minutes it crashes.
I'm running mysql database on a ubuntu 18 server. I have no other firewalls and I already disabled ufw with 'ufw disable' command.
I have also commented out the bind-address line in config file.
whole config file is as below:
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run
program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html
# This will be passed to all mysql clients
# It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes
# escpecially if they contain "#" chars...
# Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.

# InnoDB is enabled by default with a 10MB datafile in /var/lib/mysql/.

# For generating SSL certificates I recommend the OpenSSL GUI "tinyca".

i have also granted all privileges on root as follow:
grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'#'%' identified by 'xxx';
and when i run netstat -plan| grep 3306 . i get this:
tcp6 0 0 :::3306 :::* LISTEN 27233 /mysqld
which means that the server is ready to listen from remote ip.

Answer 1

Give privilege to all users but it is not good practice.
GRANT ALL ON .* TO ''#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourdbpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
