Hi @SNAKJ

Have you enabled MySQL to listen on the public interface instead of just localhost?
Have you activated firewall on the droplet maybe?
Or could it be that your university has a firewall that blocks access to the database?

    Yes i’ve tried everything to solve this and nothing worked, i think the problem is with my university firewall and that’s kinda boring …

      Run this to show listening services:

      sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P

      Run this to show the status of the firewall and list entries:

      sudo ufw status

      And unless you have another external MySQL you can connect to from university, then I’m not sure how to test this yet.
