Remote access to MySQL database

Hi

How do I connect remotely to MySQL database? I know I have to select "allow remote connections from any host" when setting up database. I tried myvpsip:3306 with no luck.

Hello Antony,
I have a website which database needs to be updated quite constantly by an application .NET WIN 10 running on my PC.
In the past i was able to easily connect to a remote MySQL database.
can you suggest me how to do it with OVH?
Thank you in advance

I did the modification to `/etc/mysql/my.cnf` commenting out the line `# bind-address = 0.0.0.0` and restarted mysql with `service mysql restart` but I still can't connect remotely to may database. Is there a specific port to use, other than `3306`, to connect remotely to databases ?
Thanks
