Able to connect to remote MYSQL DB with heidi-sql but not mysql-workbench

I'm trying to connect to the mysql db for a remote server, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, the remote server is using Windows 10. I'm using the same credentials for both clients but only heidisql-wine is able to connect successfully, the "Settings tab" for heidi-sql shows as

- Network type: MariaDB or MySQL (TCP/IP)
- Library: libmariadb.dll
- Prompt for credentials: unchecked
- Use Windows authentication: unchecked
- Compressed client/server protocol: unchecked
- Use SSL: unchecked

In MySQL-workbench my relevant settings are

- Connection Method: Standard (TCP/IP)
- Use SSL: If available
- Use compression protocol: unchecked
- Use ANSI quotes to quote identifiers: unchecked
- Enable Cleartext Authentication Plugin: unchecked
- Timeout: 60
- SQL_MODE: blank
- Others: sshCompressionLevel=0

To reiterate, I have the same credentials for both clients and the above settings but only heidisql-wine is able to connect but not mysql-workbench-community (most recent version), when testing the connection it gives me an error: "Failed to Connect to MySQL at my_ip:port with user" and on the next line "Unable to connect to localhost"

My question is: is there a setting in mysql-workbench that I'm missing which would allow me to connect to the remote server?
