Follow a guide on how to install and use MySQL on whatever operating system your VPS uses. This doesn’t look like a FiveM issue to me, but more a matter of installing and configurating MySQL + firewall correctly.

Sidenote: Please do not allow remote connections (so hosts other than localhost) to connect to your MySQL database while in production (aka your server is open to the public)
