In case of not turning the Firewall off:
after pinging the IP the Request time out will appears,
but after turning off the firewall it will reply.
Why?
I am using Mysql with Java, the question not related with java but maybe java programmers get something like this issues with sharing the database.
Your firewall will block access to port 3306 (default port for MySQL). To get it to work without turning the firewall off, you will have to configure the firewall to let connections to port 3306 (other whatever port is configured in your my.cnf) through.

I have a regular MySQL server running with XAMPP at port 3306 and accessible by my internet ip aswell my local ip (127.0.0.1), the ports are forwarded in my router. An account set up to be accessed from any IP, Everything works fine.
I'm trying to make this same server be accessible by AirVPN DNS address. So I've followed AirVPN instructions to remove the forwarded ports in my router and forward a new port at their VPN with a random number (lets go with 1111) with local port as 3306 and DNS named as xxx.airdns.org
So I open MySQL with XAMPP under port 3306, nothing changed in config file. I run the AirVPN port checker over 1111 and it signals as open. I also try at other sites that checks ports and signals open at xxx.airdns.org:1111
Though when I try to make a connection as usual it returns error (10060): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxx.airdns.org' (10060)
Resolutions I've tried:
Switch port values in MySQL config files matching with the ports open in AirVPN
bound address to VPN adapter bind-address="10.6.114.48"
repeated the options above in all different kind of port combinations and addresses
Disabled Firewall on Ethernet adapter of VPN as described here
I couldn't achieve success in this task. I'm looking for some enlightment so I can understand the process.
EDIT:
The connection is set only to TCP protocol. A port check done through airVPN and is registered at XAMPP & FIREWALL logs as accepted connections. Though trying to connect from a client I got no log from Xampp or Firewall, it gets timed out.
Sorry for "answer" type not just comment, but i dont have enough reputation here :)
Maybe the protocol ( TCP/UDP ) is your issue.
If you use UDP on your airVPN better check forwarding on your router - most of them
by default sets TCP only. Otherwise maybe change to TCP on your airVPN.
ISP provider often filter this protocol.
Issue: Consider that you can't connect to a service running "behind" some VPN server from a machine that's connected to that very same VPN service.
Solution: Connect from another machine to test your service properly.
I have the following topology.
One Ubuntu 16.04. Instance on the Amazon AWS where my global MySQL Server is running. I want to use this Server as a Slave (Multi-Source Replication) for many local Master (Windows Machines MySQL Server).
For Testing Reasons I`ve Managed to make this running on one local Machine (with three different MySQL Server Running).
But now I want to make this Replication work on the mentioned global Server with the local ones. But it fails on the attempt to connect from the EC2 ubuntu Instance to the local Windows MySQL Server.
When I try to connect from my EC2 Instance to the local Computer with MySQL running on Port 3307 it keep saying:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on (113)
The strange Part is, that I can PING the Local Computer but not telnet it.
Telnet just says:
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
I can access the Global (EC2 / Ubuntu MySQL Server) from the local Machine but not the other way around.
I`ve already made a new Rule for this Port on the Windows Firewall Settings.
But the Port 3307 on the IPv4 Address seems to be still Closed.
I have no clue what I am missing to get a Connection from the EC2 Instance to my local Computer via TCP.
Do I have to open the Port Specific on the Router?
I hope for your help.
Best Regards.
It seems like your local computer is not visible, as your incoming ports to your local pc are closed. It may be a problem with your router, or your internet service provider, which is not allowing you to open ports(the most common one).
The possible solutions are:
1.) If your ports are not open due to the router
Try forwarding required ports to your pc.
Try Switching off your NAT firewall that may be blocking ports.
Try switching off your windows or antivirus firewall if any.
2.) If your ports are blocked by your Internet service provider.
Try getting help from ISP
Switch to a static IP connection if on dynamic.
Use a VPN service that provides an unblocked port service to all IPs.(This one solved my problem when I was struck in this situation.)
I am developing simple application with Visual Studio that gets data from remote MySQL server through MySql.Data.dll extension. Everything works fine when I'm in my own network, but when I'm at customer site it won't work. I'm assuming their IT is blocking port 3306. Since this is a big corp with strict rules cooperation with network admin is not an option. I heard about tunneling with SSH, tried to do some research but this time this is something not supported by my remote MySQL server provider. I'm out of ideas. What are my options?
Many thanks,
Paw
You can try the command > telnet <yourDBHost> 3306 to verify if port is blocked.
In that case, if you can't request to your admin to open port, maybe you can change the port of MySQL to another open port in the firewall, using your CPanel or editing config files directly if you can access it.
I have built an application in vb.net that needs to connect to a mysql database. This all works fine from my own network and several other home networks.
But if i want to use the application on my company's network, i get the error
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts
I thought that this is caused by the firewall of the network.
But I used the "automatic update" option and I publish the application on a online server. This works fine on my company's network.
So the application can download the updates from the network, but can't connect to the mysql server. What could cause this issue?
The most common situation that would cause this is selective egress filtering. Specifically, the firewall is most likely only allowing HTTP/HTTPS port connections out.
Try changing mysql to listen on 443, then try again using 443 instead. The firewall may allow the traffic since it is using 443 like web traffic instead of 3306 (mysql default).
If you're testing it locally, its because you need to whitelist the IP that you're CURRENTLY on.
On live sites, the IP of the server doesn't change. So you use that IP with the correct permissions to allow mysql to work.
So basically, figure out where your allowed IP's to talk to the DB are, find your local ip, and modify. Incorrect ports can be a problem also
I have enabled this through windows Firewall. (I use Avast Free which doesn't have a free firewall) and I have went onto the BT router to port forward this too. Yet I still get system error 10060. I have downloaded PfPortchecker and checked port 3306 and apparently it's still not open.
I am pretty clueless on what to do here, any help is appreciated cheers.
If both MySQL Workbench and your MySQL server run on the same machine then you don't need to open any port on the modem or in the firewall. Focus on problems on your local machine.
First thing to check is: is your server actually running? Is there a service that starts the MySQL server? What setup is that? Did you install the server via the MySQL Windows Installer? If the server is running check the config file if TCP/IP networking is disabled for some weird reason (it should not, but who knows). If that is disabled you can only connect via a named pipe to your server.
Next step is to check is that the user you use to connect is actually allowed to connect from the local machine. Jeremy is right here, it matters if you use localhost or 127.0.0.1, especially if IPv6 is enabled on the box (where localhost resolves to ::1, instead of 127.0.0.1).
