ConnectionException using Java MariaDB Connector

i want to establish a connection between my Java Program and my Database created with MariaDB on a different server (not localhost). Everything is fine with the ServerIP, Databasename, User and Password.
But i get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not connect to address=(host=MY_SERVER_IP)(port=3306)(type=master) : Connection timed out: connect

My Code:

package MySQL_Tester;
import java.sql.*;
public class LoadDriver {
static Connection sqlHandler = null;
public static void main(String[]args) throws SQLException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
Class.forName("org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
sqlHandler=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://MY_SERVER_IP/DATABASENAME?user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD");
}}

All the versions i use:

• MariaDB: 10.1.44

• MariaDB-Java-Connector: mariadb-java-client.1.2.0.jar

• Java Version: Version 8 Update 161

• Eclipse Version: 2019-03 (4.11.0)

You must update your connection string with the real values.

Thank you for your answer davidbuzatto but the problem was easier to solve than i expected.

Here is a Guide how i solved this problem for me:

Step 1: Check your MySQL-Config File with (nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf in Ubuntu)
replacing bind-adress: 172.0.0.1 with bind-adress: 0.0.0.0

When this doesnt help... For me it didnt help....

Step 2: Check the Firewall Settings on your Server and allow the access to the MySQL Server

When this also doesnt help... For me it didnt....

Step 3: Grant Access to your MySQL-Database

Use this MySQL-Query: GRANT ALL ON yourDatabasename.* to yourUser@yourIP identified by 'passwordOfTheUser';
