Can't connect to a stand alone MySQL server from a google cloud compute VM instance
I have a server in my office running MySQL. I've connected to this server from laptops and PCs far and wide. However, when trying to connect into it from a Google Cloud Compute Engine VM Instance I'm getting the following error:
>>> import mysql.connector
>>> dbconfig = {'host': 'redacted', 'user': 'redacted', 'database': 'redacted', 'password': 'redacted'}
>>> cnx = mysql.connector.connect(**dbconfig)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/me/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-
packages/mysql/connector/connection_cext.py", line 176, in _open_connection
self._cmysql.connect(**cnx_kwargs)
_mysql_connector.MySQLInterfaceError: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 104
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

mysql.connector.errors.OperationalError: 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to
MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 104
The VM is an Ubuntu 16.04.5 installed last month from the stock image. I tried the connection from python 3.7 console using mysql-connector-python.
Is there any firewall rule I need to add perhaps?

Are you sure that you can connect from other systems outside your office? This is a problem on the MySQL server side (firewall, incorrect TCP binding, etc.). What address is MySQL listening on? Make sure that address can be accessed externally.

Yes I'm sure. I've been using this MySQL server for a long time and accessed it from the train, from another country - hotels, etc.

My bad, our IT closed the 3306 port in the firewall. I tried accessing the server from outside our network and found out it wasn't accessible anymore.
Thanks for doubting me John
