Adding IPv6 to MongoDB cluster's trusted sourcess (IP Binding)

Posted on November 28, 2021

This may seems such a trivial question but it is possible to edit the MongoDB’s configuration file and bind multiple IP/range in order to restrict access to the database. (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/security-mongodb-configuration/)

This option is available on DigitalOcean’s dashboard for “Managed MongoDB Database” but it only allows IPv4. Recently I was trying to add an IPv6 to the list of “trusted sources” but I got an error saying only IPv4 is allowed.

Since we do not have access to the database cluster itself and can not configure it manually, does DO offer an option to allow IPv6 for trusted sources in the dashboard?

I searched a lot through documentation but could not find any clue.
