Question Remote access to a DB from specific host

[Bogdan1]

Hi,

Why there is an option in UI to specify host that can connect to db remotely if we still have to use this tutorial How to enable remote access to MySQL database server in Plesk to grant that user the access?

Because I tried to grant access to my IP in UI but access was restricted until I executed SQL script:
GRANT ALL ON database.* TO user@'203.0.113.2' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Because by default, MySQL is bound to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) which isn't accessible to the outside.
