Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts when checking connection

Question

I am trying to connect to Mysql database through vb.net However I run into the error:

Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts

Answer 1

I have the same problem. But I was a server, in a domain, and now the server is outside the domain.

I try to change the rulesin firewall of the server (where there is MySql server). So go to inbound rules, and search the 2 Mysql rules.

Open them and search th Advanced item. Then check Domain, or/and Private, or/and Public

(for me, Domain was the only cheked option, not good for me because I 'm now outside the domain).

Hope it helps ! Cheers :)
