grant remote access of MySQL database from any IP address

Question

I am aware of this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES
ON database.*
TO \'user\'@\'yourremotehost\'
IDENTIFIED BY \'newpassword\';

But then it on

Answer 1

Just create the user to some database like

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON .* TO ''@'%' IDENTIFIED BY ''

Then go to

sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf and change the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 to bind-address = 0.0.0.0

After that you may connect to that database from any IP.
