How do I connect to my MySQL server remotely?

This will entirely depend upon the client that you are using to connect with. There are only
two things you will need to ensure work for proper functionality. First, you will need to find
out if the client you are using supports connections over TCP/IP. Second, you will have to
add a host to your mysql user, to allow connections from the host you are using.

This can be done from within a mysql command prompt like so:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase.* TO ‘myuser’@’myclientip’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘mypassword’;

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
