Cannot Connect On Heltec ESP32 LoRa v3

[JakeBiggs]

I'm running a MySQL 8.2.4 DB on a Myphpadmin mariaDB server v10.4.28.

I have set up my bind address to 0.0.0.0, i have created a user with hostname %, i have set the right port and turned off all firewalls.

When testing on a python SQL client on another machine, it works fine, but when using the same credentials on my ESP32, it gets stuck on conn.connect(). The server log states "Aborted connection to db: "unconnected" user: "unauthenticated" host: "192.168.1.82" (This connection closed normally without authentication)

I'm not sure if it's the ESP32 that's causing issues, or the mixmatch of MariaDB and MySQL components, but it doesn't seem to work.
