Spring Boot is having difficulty connecting to my database which is on a remote host. When I connect to a local database it acts normally and when i connect to the remote database on MySQL workbench it also connects just fine. The credentials are the same and I can’t figure out why it isnt connecting.

can someone find out whats going on?
