This has nothing to do with the OS. Server providers and VPS users alike usually block remote connections from a security point of view. Only the essential ports are opened and the rest are securely closed. Admittedly, if you have a VPS you can whitelist certain IP addresses/ranges, while implicitly blacklisting all the rest.

And a word of caution: the "mysql" PHP extension is deprecated and has been completely removed from PHP 7 onwards. Use PDO or mysqli instead.
