Question
App is unable to connect to MongoDB database when added as a trusted source.
I have an App and a MongoDB database both hosted by DigitalOcean. When I add the app as a trusted source (tripled checked the name) my web app is unable to connect to the database. When I remove the app as a trusted source and allow the database cluster to be open all incoming connections then the app is finally able to connect.
I don’t understand why this would be? Is it because the component (web service) within my App is accessing the database and that hasn’t been whitelisted yet? If so, how would i whitelist it?
This just doesn’t really make any sense to me. Why would the IP whitelisting not work for just this web app but work fine for other droplets? I don’t see what I am doing wrong.

Hey @tompeters,
I’ve just tested this and it seems to work as expected once the App is added to the Trusted sources list.
