You REALLY don't want an open mongo server sitting on the internet for world + dog to abuse — Timothy c, Apr 28 '21 at 17:58

Is mongo listening on port 27107? Use `netstat -nap` to find out. — Andrew Schulman, Apr 30 '21 at 14:48

To allow remote connections, you must edit the MongoDB configuration file — /etc/mongod.conf — to additionally bind MongoDB to your machine's publicly-routable IP address. This way, your MongoDB installation will be able to listen to connections made to your MongoDB server from remote machines.

# network interfaces
net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1,mongodb_server_ip

Please note that this should be the IP address of the Machine on which you’ve installed MongoDB. That is the Machine should have publicly routable Ip address
