What is MySQL Error 2025 CR_PROBE_SOURCE_CONNECT?

Error 2025 appears when the client library attempts an internal probe and cannot open a TCP connection to the source defined in the connection string. The error was introduced in MySQL 8.0.33 to provide clearer diagnostics for unreachable hosts.

When does CR_PROBE_SOURCE_CONNECT occur?

The error fires during the initial handshake phase before authentication.

Any mismatch between client host parameters and reachable network endpoints will trigger the probe failure message.

Why is quick resolution important?

Connection failures halt application traffic, break data pipelines, and can mask deeper infrastructure issues. Fast remediation restores service levels and prevents cascading timeouts in dependent services.
