Setting up a Remote MySQL Database Connection

 

What is remote mysql in cPanel?

 

If you wish to connect to your database using third party software that doesn't run on the server, like MySQL customer on your desktop a remote MySQL connection is often created. You will have to allow the connection from the cPanel for the IP address you are connecting from.

 

When remote host access is enabled, you'll use remote consumer applications to attach to your databases directly. Enabling direct remote access to your databases could be a potential security risk. As an alternative, safer way in accessing your databases remotely is to tunnel MySQL connections over SSH.
