By default, cPanel does not allow remote MySQL connections, which is a good thing as long as you don't need to.
If you are using cPanel and want to allow a remote IP to access your MySQL databases, then you will need to whitelist that IP (Enable Remote MySQL Connections).
Enabling Remote MySQL in cPanel
- Log in to cPanel.
- Under Databases, click the Remote MySQL icon shown below.
\
3. In the Host field, type in the IP address then click Add Host
Once you have added the IP address to Remote MySQL, you will be able to connect.
