Cannot connect to Azure Database for MySQL - mysql

I created an Azure Database for MySQL. When I try connect to it from MySQL Workbench, it cannot connect. However if I test the connection, the test passes.
When I test the connection, the test is successful:
When I try to connect however, it can't:
On the Azure Portal, I've allowed all IP addresses on the firewall and disabled "Enfore SSL connection":
Any ideas? The connection fails in less than 5 seconds, so I don't think it's a timeout issue. Here is a list of all the timeouts on MySQL Server (on Azure):

I resolved the issue by changing the bind_address=0.0.0.0 (mariadb.cnf or mysql.cnf).
Now I can connect to it using telnet (to check the setting).

"Cannot Connect to Database Server" error connecting from MySQL Workbench to SiteGround MySQL Database

Situation:
I am trying to connect to my SiteGround server MySQL database directly from my local machine using MySQL Workbench. I am positive that the connection properties are entered correctly as the connection works if I am connected to Network A (phone data plan). But with Network B, the connection failed.
I allowed remote access to my server from my Network B IP, in fact, I allowed all IPs just for testing, therefore Network A is working.
I checked if there is any setting that blocks the port from my router and modem in Network B, but I found nothing.
I tried running netstat: nothing with port 3306.
I tried running telnet: "connect failed"
Question:
I am suspecting that my ISP has blocked the outgoing port 3306? Is there anything I can do to "unblock" it?
Or is there any workaround for connecting to my server database?

MySQL Domo AWS RDS Connector

I'm having issues connecting Domo to a MySQL database hosted with AWS RDS. Whenever I try to authenticate I get this error:
"Failed to authenticate. Verify the credentials and try again. Domo is ready, but the credentials you entered are invalid. Verify your account credentials and try again. Error setting up SQL connection. Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up."
Its not security group settings. Someone suggested on this post:
https://dojo.domo.com/t5/Data-Sources-and-Connectors/MySQL-connector-issues/td-p/15462
that I should enable SSL in AWS database but I'm not sure how to do that.
I'll assume you're using the MySQL connector, not the MySQL SSH connector.
It sounds like you need to whitelist Domo's IP addresses within your AWS RDS's security groups.
Aside from that, make sure you're populating the credentials in Domo with the right pieces of information. Hostname should be the server's public IP address.
This connector follows the same general process as described in AWS's documentation here, with the exception that steps 5 and 6 are optional since SSH is not required for this connector.

AWS MySQL Connection timeout

I setup a mysql DB instance with elasticbeanstalk. but Im unable to connect to the DB via mySQL commandline tool or the workbench.
troubleshooting steps so far:
ping - No response time out.
WorkBench - Timeout
Commandline - Timeout
I figured this could be a firewall issue so I changed the security groups assigned to the DB to all all traffic.
Still unable to connect. Need some advice with other troubleshooting steps or solutions for how I can connect to the DB instance.
Based on the comments, the problem was the RDS had Public IP disabled. Thus, the solution was to enable it.

Cannot connect to Azure MySQL service with MySQL Workbench

I'm using MySQL Workbench on a 64bit/Win 8.1 machine to trying to connect to an Azure MySQL service, but everytime I get the following error:
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error:0
I followed many tutorial found ever the internet, and I also tried to disable temporarely the firewall: most of them says that the only needed parameters are:
hostname (the one given in Azure portal/MyDB/Properties)
username (the one given in Azure portal/MyDB/Properties)
(optional) password (to store in vault)
I tried also using different connection methods (Standard TCP/IP and Local socket/pipe, as suggested here) but nothing.
Can help?
I was not able to recreate your issue. Here are the steps that I tried with a MySQL database created thru the Azure portal.
Open MySql Workbench.
Setup new connection with the following settings.
Hostname: HOSTNAME
Port: PORT
Username: USERNAME
Pasword: PASSWORD
Database: DATABASE NAME
Test Connection > Succeeded.
The settings above came from portal.azure.com > MyDatabase > All settings.
One suggestion is to contact ClearDB support. You can login to ClearDB from your database's Azure dashboard by clicking on Manage Database. From there you can go to Support and log a support incident.
I was also struggling with a similar issue, as I was not able to connect my MySQL workbench with Azure VM that's running MySQL.
I've contacted the Azure support to help me out after trying it for 3-4 hrs.
They suggested me to go into network security group of that VM, and add 3306 or whatever port that your MySQL is running on our Azure to the inbound and outbound list and add the exception as All.
It helped me to connect MySQL workbench with Azure VM with MySQL on it.

Unable to connect to MYSQL on a remote computer

I am working on windows and having a remote desktop connection of another machine. I am trying to connect to the mysql running on the remote machine through my MySql workbench, installed on my machine.
When I specify the details to connect to mysql i.e.
IP- a.b.c.d
port-3306
username=root
password=
But everytime it shows me an error saying-
Your connection attempt to connect to user='root'failed from your host to server at a.b.c.d:3306
Is it possible that I can connect to mysql on a different machine?
Certainly that is possible, mysql is a network transparent service. However obviously the normal access authorization rules apply.
do you have network access to the mysql port, this might be blocked by a firewall. You can check that by using telnet ip-address-of-server 3306. Does the server answer or do you get a timeout or are blocked? (the answer would look cryptic, soomething like 5.5.33-MariaDB[*[n7p~g!�iXccI$r9``Y{$mysql_native_password or similar )
the mysql server can be configured to not listen to remote connections. This can add security to the setup, but would obviously block any remote connection attempts. You will have to check the configuration files of mysql for that.
mysql itself implements an authorization level. So check if that 'root' user actually is allowed to connect from the outside. Those authorizations are stored in the internal "mysql" database.
Also it is not clear from the question what your network topology is: is the mysql server running on that system you have a "remote connection" to? Is the mysql-workbench running on that remote system or on your local system? This might affect the ip address you have to use inside the workbench.
