+# Remote Connection MySQL by Workbench
+
+### Basics
+
+Firstly you need MySQL server and MySQLWorkbench, I suggest a quite stable version [MySQL 5.7](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.7.html#downloads). As for Workbench I suggest [MySQLWorkbench 6.3](https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/) because higher version may cause compatibility issues.
+
+### Configure remote connection for MySQL
+
+Edit `mysql.cnf`, I found `mysqld.cnf` under`/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d`, find `bind-address = 127.0.0.1` and comment it out
+
+`#bind-address = 127.0.0.1`
+
+On your server, `mysql -u username -p` 
+
+Add new mysql user
+
+`GRANT ALL ON *.* to user@'IP' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; `
+
+'IP' I suggest use '%' which means allow all ip connections. Then refresh system
+
+`FLUSH PRIVILEGES;`
+
+`exit` and restart the mysql service
+
+`sudo service mysql restart `
+
+### Operate Workbench
+
+Click the plus button on the home page, fill in the server IP address, username, password(your mysql password on server), wish you success!
