*** You have failed to connect to a MongoDB Atlas cluster. Please ensure that your IP whitelist allows connections from your network.

Error: connect failed to replica set atlas-hrfqux-shard-0/cluster0-shard-00-01.x2gaq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-02.x2gaq.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-00.x2gaq.mongodb.net:27017 :
connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:374:17
@(connect):2:6
exception: connect failed
exiting with code 1

This error pops out everytime when I try to connect my mongo shell to the Mongodb Atlas.

Is there any solution to get rid out of this error.

Thank you!

I faced the same error and in my case it was my internet connection which was blocking the mongo servers. I switched from hostel LAN to normal wi-fi, and it got connected!
