I want to make my MySQL DB accessible from outside the localhost. I tried changing the Host for my username to % through phpMyAdmin but it didn't work. Also portforwarded, that works for sure.

I get this error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'myusername'@'myhostname' (using password: YES)

I granted all privileges and stuff like that.

I checked all duplicates' answers, but they don't work for me.

Solved, it was something permissions-related, fixed it now. – Sydcul Jan 18 at 16:54
