I changed my MongoDB container's region from US West to EU West.
I can see its host "roundhouse.proxy.rlwy.net" hasn't changed.
But after migration I'm receiving error while connecting to it.
Error message:
connection <monitor> to 35.214.158.190:45845 closed

make sure you are using reference variables https://docs.railway.app/guides/variables#referencing-another-services-variable
and then make sure your code is using those environment variables

#

It is

#

I also copied MONGO_URL variable, and pasted it directly to Mongo Compass

and did it work from compass?

#

No

#

can you try specifying the database to connect to? in this case it looks like its test

#

I specified using mongoose didnt work.
I added /test at the end of the url string, didnt work
