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

You 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?

Strange, I just connected to my MongoDB database on Railway perfectly on Compass 🤔
are you sure you're copying the correct link?

#

(MONGO_URL and not MONGO_PRIVATE_URL)

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

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
