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?

When trying to use the same link i'm using in my app i'm getting "connection 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 🤔
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
