Question
how to create a secure connection for workbench to mysql
- Posted on September 24, 2013
Asked by FranciscoRaulOrtega
Hi, I was trying to use workbench for mysql I did the following sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables/rules.v4
However, it doesn’t work… it does not connect (from workbench)
I also think that is not a secure connection… maybe I need to use ssl?
My rules.v4 looks like this Generated by iptables-save v1.4.14 on Tue Sep 24 16:38:30 2013 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [87:7016] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [74:6968] -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT COMMIT
Completed on Tue Sep 24 16:38:30 2013
However, I notice that 3306 is already open based on this file, before -A INPUT (in :INPUT ACCEPT)
or do I have to create a VPN to have a more secure connection?
I would like to be able to use mysql workbench
By the way, I’m running MariaDB on Debian 7 64 bits

Make sure MySQL is listening on 0.0.0.0 and not 127.0.0.1: <br> <br><pre>sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf</pre> <br> <br>Set bind-address to 0.0.0.0, save, and restart mysql.
