Add Your Connection IP Address to IP Access List

An IP is a unique numeric identifier for a device connecting to a network. In MongoDB Atlas for Government, you can only connect to a cluster from a trusted IP address. Within AtlasGov, you can create a list of trusted IP addresses, referred to as a IP access list, that can be used to connect to your cluster and access your data.

Important

Data Explorer in Atlas does not respect data plane IP access restrictions. If you do not want Atlas Users to be able to view or modify data via the Atlas UI, disable Data Explorer in Atlas. To learn more, see:

Procedure

You must add your IP address to the IP access list before you can connect to your cluster. To add your IP address to the IP access list:

Click Connect.

In the Clusters view, click Connect for the cluster to which you want to connect.

Atlas highlights the Setup connection security step.

Click Add Your Current IP Address.

To secure your AtlasGov cluster, limit access to specified IP addresses.

The menu expands to show the Add a connection IP address modal.

Click Add IP Address.
