title: Connecting to Amazon RDS MySql remotely
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to MySql on Amazon RDS from my computer, using <code>MySql WorkBench</code>, or <code>HeidiSql</code> or even the <code>console Mysql.exe</code> and i'm getting this error all the time:</p>
  
  <p><code>ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MY-SERVER-NAME' (10060)</code></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>In the Security group of the instance I created a new Inbound rule that allows all traffic, and applied it, and still - same error.</li>
  <li>I have no active Firewall on my computer, and have good internet access</li>
  <li>I am able to access the DB from the Amazon EC3 server, there I am connecting using HeidiSql, and the exact same settings (host, username, password) is just not working on my computer</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Still, nothing is working. I'm pretty sure that my security groups is configured to allow outside connections, as can be seen on the next screenshot, there is another place with firewall rules?
