Port 3306 Block (Even with ufw allow 3306 and mysql bind-address=*)

I’ve reproduced step by step this guide : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-allow-remote-access-to-mysql

But even after that, my port 3306 is still said as closed.

I’ve did the same thing on a second droplet, and that worked like a charm, whereas they both have really similars environements.

I already know that ssh tunnel is a better solution (in terms of security) but I need to use multiple databases in php files so it’s way too complicated to use multiple tunnels with different db in native language without extensions ect.

I’ve checked my mysql log, no errors. Both conf of mysql in each vps are the exact same. I’m completely lost guys 😭

I’ve tried :

iptables -A INPUT -i enp1s0 -p tcp --destination-port 3306 -j ACCEPT
