Having a rough time trying to connect to my droplet’s MySQL server through an external software called Navicat. here’s what I’ve done so far;
• adjusted my.cnf to be bound to 0.0.0.0 and checked through netstat that 0.0.0.0:3306 is listening • followed this tutorial to open up 3306 - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-using-iptables-on-ubuntu-14-04
Still, when trying to connect, I get the following error (delivered very fast);
“CONNECTION FAILED - Server unexpectedly closed network connection”
I’m trying to use SSH credentials with my root MySQL username & password on the IP 162.243.75.66 and port 3306.
Can you point me in the right direction here?

In navicat I just setup the SSH settings with the same credentials I use for putty and in the General settings like I was in my localhost, thats it.
I’m trying to connect from the software package called Navicat, which isn’t a Command Line interface. It keeps denying me like crazy…pretty pissed about the whole thing!
