title: AWS Aurora - Unable to connect to aws aurora db
body: <p>I am trying to connect to my database from local machine but I am getting the following error. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'finaltesting2.cluster-cxtmwsuqx4ty.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com' (110)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Things I have done:</p>
  
  <p>1: Changed the vps security group for inbound traffic. For testing purpose, I  have even allowed all TCP traffic from all of the IP range</p>
  
  <p>2: I don't have any firewall on my local machine that is blocking me to connect to port 3306</p>
  
  <p>3: I have already looked many similar issues on stackoverlow and the answers is just to change the inbound rules but its not working for me.</p>
  
  <p>4: I have proper internet connection for my local machine. i-e no network issue </p>
