It might not be an easy task, but in essence you need to edit the configuration file of MySQL to listen to the external IP your Droplet has. You also need to have a user who can connect remotely in MySQL and the port open on the firewall to accept external connections.
A more secure way would be tunneling port 3306 via SSH: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-tunneling-on-a-vps”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-tunneling-on-a-vps</a>.
