AWS RDS MySql - how to allow access after setting 'Publicly available'

Just created new AWS RDS MySql instance with default settings and user/pass.

Also I set it to be publicly available and to create a new VPC during the process.

Currently can not connect from my laptop to this RDS:
mysql -h endpoint -u myusername -p

error:

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'endpoint' (60)

How to allow access to it from e.g. my laptop and other computers? If is trough some security groups - where exactly to change and associate with new RDS instance trough console?

Thanks.

On the instance page, just under the monitoring graphs there is a connect block with a list of security groups.

There should be 1 group of type security group - inbound

On that security group's page you should have an inbound tab at the bottom.

enter image description here

Click on Edit et add a new rule for your current IP. Make sure the port is correct.

enter image description here

Now you should be able to connect with mysql -h [ENDPOINT] -P [PORT] -u [USERNAME] -p

If you are behind a proxy this may still fail. You'll have to tunnel your way in or used a shared wifi connection.
