Hi Railway team,
I'm using Railway Pro.
I have a Railway-managed MySQL database.
The database itself is healthy:
- MySQL starts successfully.
- Logs show "ready for connections".
- Private Networking works correctly.
- Services inside Railway can connect to mysql.railway.internal.
However, Public Networking is not reachable.
Current public endpoint:
altaria.proxy.rlwy.net:51845 -> 3306
From multiple external networks (including mobile hotspot), every TCP connection times out.
Tests:
nc -vz -w 5 altaria.proxy.rlwy.net 51845
Result:
nc: connectx to altaria.proxy.rlwy.net port 51845 (tcp) failed: Operation timed out
I have already:
- Recreated the Public TCP Proxy
- Restarted the MySQL service
- Confirmed MySQL is listening on port 3306
- Tested from multiple networks
Could you please check whether the TCP proxy for this service is correctly provisioned?
Thank you.

Having looked into this, the issue appears to be in your application code or configuration rather than the Railway platform itself, which puts it outside what Railway support can resolve directly.
This is exactly the kind of problem the Railway community is good at, so we'd like to open your thread as a community bounty. Railway pays a bounty to the community member who solves it, and threads like this usually get picked up quickly.

Have you tried using a VPN?

Perhaps a different VPN location?
I'm able to run nc just fine:
➜ nc -vz -w 5 altaria.proxy.rlwy.net 51845
Connection to altaria.proxy.rlwy.net port 51845 [tcp/*] succeeded!

Perhaps a different VPN location? I'm able to run `nc` just fine: ``` ➜ nc -vz -w 5 altaria.proxy.rlwy.net 51845 Connection to altaria.proxy.rlwy.net port 51845 [tcp/*] succeeded! ```

Thanks！It works when I enable VPN in global/TUN mode. Without the VPN, ICMP ping works, but TCP connections to the Railway proxy port time out.

Solved.
The issue turned out to be network routing.
ICMP (ping) worked, but TCP connections to the Railway proxy timed out from my local network.
After enabling my VPN in global/TUN mode, the TCP connection succeeded and I could connect to MySQL normally.
Thanks for the help!
