Here are three common default ports used in MySQL:

  • The default port for MySQL protocol is 3306, which is used by the mysql client, MySQL Connectors, and utilities such as mysqldump andmysqlpump.

  • The default port for MySQL X Protocol (MySQL Database Extended Interface) is 33060.

  • The default port when you connect to MySQL via SSH Tunnel is 22.

When connecting to a MySQL database using TablePlus, if you leave the port field blank, it will use the default port.
