Connect to Google Cloud MySQL Database

Question

I'm trying to connect to my MySQL database using a soft called Beekeeper-studio . I created a SQL instance, inside I created a database (let's called it myDatabase) and a username and password (test and testPassword). And I tooke the public IP address on the overview page of this instace.

So I'm trying to make a connection to the db with the URL like that: mysql://test:testPassword@XX.XX.XX.XXX:3006/myDatabase

So when I'm trying to connect, i have a timeout error: connect ETIMEDOUT XX.XX.XX.XXX:3006

I'm trying to connect to the db before using it on my nodejs API. Any idea?

You'll need to either:

1. Add your machine's IP to an authorized network , or
2. Run the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy on your machine.
