Cannot use SSH tunnel to connect to AWS RDS
Completed
I want to connect to a RDS MariaDB using a SSH tunnel through a bastion host.
Establishing a tunnel using
ssh user@bastionhost -L 3306:aws-rds-url:3306
in the background and connection parameters "localhost:3306" works.
I try to establish the SSH tunnel using DataGrip the following way:
Host: aws-rds-url
Port: 3306
Use SSH tunnel: yes
Proxy host: <bastionhost>
Proxy port: 3306
Proxy user: <user>
Local port: 3306
Auth type: OpenSSH config and authentication agent (or "Key pair" and key file / passphrase)
This doesn't work, I'm getting "SSH tunnel creation failed: com.intellij.execution.ExecutionException: SSH: Operation timed out (Connection timed out)"

@ Michael Johann,
Could you email vasily.chernov@jetbrains.com IDE logs to me?
I found the simple solution: Proxy Port has to be the SSH Port 22.
I mirrored the CLI parameters instead and the example in the documentation tricked me, becaused they used some random port 7000 instead of the common SSH port.
