connect to my mongodb from outside of my project?
hoyy, how do i connect to my mongodb from outside of my project? (like mongosh and compass) I'm probably missing something in the options but just the link won't do

Project ID:
N/AYou can find a public MongoDB connection string in your MongoDB service, you can use that to connect to MongoDB from outside your project
Although I'm unsure why you're saying "just the link won't do", what do you mean by that?
When trying to use the same link i'm using in my app i'm getting "connection <monitor> to 35.214.179.121:20212 closed" on both mongosh and compass
Strange, I just connected to my MongoDB database on Railway perfectly on Compass π€
are you sure you're copying the correct link?
(
MONGO_URL and not MONGO_PRIVATE_URL)Yes I am :/
Same error when trying to access it from my actual app with mongoose (not the deployed one the one on my pc)
but as i said putting it as an enviroment variable to the deployed app works perfectly fine
That is uncanny
would it be possible that you are behind a firewall such as at a workplace or school?
oftentimes firewalls at schools or workplaces block non standard ports such as the random high value ports railway uses for the databases
No i'm not, I am using a VM if it makes any difference
Well it doesn't work outside of my vm or on my friend's pc so that's not the problem
are you using the correct environment variable
I am using the MONG_URL that also works on my express app (when hosted on railway)
can you tell me the domain for the tcp proxy?
so the stuff after the @ ?
I would appreciate if you could stop the ping replies
sure
yes
