How to use client tools to manage the self-built mongodb database on Tencent Cloud host. The ports are blocked. What should I do?

Question

It’s very expensive to buy their mongo database separately. I just installed it on the cloud host and it can’t be accessed from outside.

Open the corresponding ports in the security policy of iptables and cloud host

By the way, the IP bound to mongodb is set to 0.0.0.0

Be sure to set a password. Many people do not set a password or set a very weak password, which poses a huge security risk. Hackers will scan the entire network for mogodb ports, and many people have fallen victim to this. It has been reported in the news

So it is best not to enable external network access to the database. If you want to do distributed, it is best to only enable intranet access to the cloud host

Your application should access the database through the server program and provide external business APIs. Do not access the remote database directly from the client
