I am not able to connect my server in MongoDB Compass. I am trying to connect by identity file. I am providing hostname username and file. I got:

'Error creating SSH Tunnel: Timed out while waiting for forwardOut'

What does it mean?

  • Few things to note according to the image. Some times the pem file will have a pass phrase, if so dont forget it add it. And the server cannot be pinged. So make sure whether the server is running. – Nirojan Selvanathan Mar 03 '17 at 09:41
  • I guess pass phrase in not there. Because I can able to logged in via termnal to that mongodb. But I am facing issue on MongoDB Compass – MongoUser Mar 03 '17 at 09:50

Hi, krl! I was getting the exact same error from MongoDB Compass Community 1.11.1 while trying to connect through an SSH tunnel, with a ppk file protected by a passphrase.

Are you putting your remote server IP or domain name in the first field (hostname)? That was my mistake.

What solved it for me was setting the Hostname field (the first one on top) to localhost instead of remote server IP or domain name. Put your domain/IP only on the field SSH Hostname.

I hope it helps.
