Connecting to MySQL on DigitalOcean

How does one connect to a digital ocean server for mysql via Sequel Pro, I've added my SSH key and have the IP address and login details but unable to connect. This is not a Forge setup, but more of a manual setup on Digital Ocean.

Just wondered if one of you lot could help me out :)

You'd use the SSH tunnel Basically add in your SSH details on to Sequel Pro SSH tab, and that should work.

I think Jeffrey did a video on this a while back, but I can't remember which off the top of my head.

Yes I know how to tunnel when it's a Forge server, but I'm either missing some details from the client or it's just not connecting,

Not quite the same as Forge I think, or I'm missing some details.
