Yes, you can connect Mysql server remotely.
To access database remotely, on server side Mysql port should be open to accept incoming connection.

If you are on cPanel server then you can login to cPanel >> Go to Remote Mysql and add your local machine IP address.

Doing this will add your IP address to allowed list of remote mysql server access.

Next, to access database remotely you will need mysql client installed on your machine (Computer).
You can find multiple free Mysql client available on Google.
Once this is installed, you will need to specify database host, database name, database user, database password and mysql port in Mysql client.

That's All

If you have dynamic IP address, In this case you can use a wild card in remote database section i.e Simply add character % instead of IP address. This will save your time of adding a new IP address every time.
