Allow any ip to connect to Amazon Web Services RDS using MySQL

Question

Is it possible to allow any IP to connect to a Amazon RDS instance using MySQL?

Explaining my scenario as requested in the comments:

Amazon RDS by default blocks all the incoming connections which the incoming IP is not listed in the AWS security group "white list". But I use 3G connection on my workstation, so my IP address is always changing. I don't want to update the security group "white list" every time I connect to my 3G with the new IP in order to be able to connect to my RDS instance.

Solution

Just figured out how to do it:

Just add 0.0.0.0/0 to the security group "white list"

Could you improve your question for clarity? What is it that you are trying to do?

While this "may" solve your problem it does completely defeat any security offered by the default configuration -- You may want to speak to your cell provider and try to get a list of networks to add to the whitelist rather than just allowing the whole internet in...

It's for a development environment, no sensitive information here. The staging and production instances are in a different security group.
