Not able to connect mysql db by toad on linux server which it is easily connected by putty or linux terminal?

Question

I have mysql DB on cloud linux server. I am able to connect db when I access it through the putty mean ssh connection. But when I try to access this DB remotely by toad , it couldn't connect to the DB.

I tried edition my.cnf file also. But it has no entry regarding "skip-networking" or something which is preventing me to connect.

I couldn't understand why this is happening.

To connect to mysql server through remote computer, you have to give explicit permission particularly to your IP address or computer name

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '<username used to log in to mysql>'@'<IP Addess>'
