Hello, im very much a beginner with this kind of stuff but, i was just wondering if there is a way i can connect to my database outside of heliohost?

The connection info in the database only points to localhost:3306.

Am i missing something or doing something incorrectly? I completely understand if it is not allowed but, if it is allowed how do i do it?

Thank you!

Yes you can. You need to edit the database user and enable remote access (it's at the bottom below the permissions), and after that, you can reach the database server remotely using tommy.heliohost.org:3306 as the host name.

That worked! Thank you very much!
