If the mongoDB server is already installed and if you are unable to connect from a remote host then follow the below steps,

Login to your machine, open mongodb configuration file located at /etc/mongod.conf and change the bindIp field to specific ip / 0.0.0.0 , after that restart mongodb server.

    sudo vi /etc/mongod.conf

The file should contain the following kind of content:

  systemLog:
      destination: file
      path: "/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log"
      logAppend: true
  storage:
      journal:
          enabled: true
  processManagement:
      fork: true
  net:
      bindIp: 127.0.0.1  // change here to 0.0.0.0
      port: 27017
  setParameter:
      enableLocalhostAuthBypass: false

Once you change the bindIp, then you have to restart the mongodb, using the following command
```
  sudo service mongod restart
```
Now you'll be able to connect to the mongodb server, from remote server.

You re IP address probably changed   If you ve recently restarted your modem  this changes your IP which was probably whitelisted on Atlas    Soooo  you ll need to jump back onto Atlas and add your new IP address to the whitelist under Security Network Access

I guess you must be connecting to cloud mongodb com to your cluster   One quick fix is to go to the connection tab and add your current IP address in the cluster portal of browser or desktop app   The IP address must have changed due to a variety of reasons  such as changing the wifi   Just try this approach  it worked for me when I got this error

My problem was the wrong port number for mongoDB server  I had  DATABASE URL   quot mongodb   localhost 3000 node-express-mongodb-server quot   in my  env file  my environmental variables   but I had written it before running mongoDB server  So when I ran the mongoDB server  it wrote a different port number and I had to change it  I changed it to the right port number  which was written on my cmd window by mongoDB   DATABASE URL   quot mongodb   localhost 27017 node-express-mongodb-server quot   and now it works fine
