To connect to your database remotely, tunnel in via SSH.

This creates an encrypted tunnel to your Slice’s mySQL port (3306) on your local port of 8888. Point your local admin/GUI app to localhost:8888. If this does not work, and you are running OS X with CocoaMySQL try pointing it to 0.0.0.0:8888 instead.

SSH tunnel to local port

mysql, ssh

Bash
