Hi everyone,

While using MongoDB 6.0.3, we noticed outbound connections to the following IP addresses and domains:
|3.121.120|ec2-3-213-121-120.compute-1.amazonaws.com|
|34.234.205.50|ec2-34-234-205-50.compute-1.amazonaws.com|
|44.206.181.217|ec2-44-206-181-217.compute-1.amazonaws.com|
|44.206.181.217|ec2-44-206-181-217.compute-1.amazonaws.com|
|52.44.207.57|ec2-52-44-207-57.compute-1.amazonaws.com|

I’d like to ask if it’s expected for MongoDB to initiate outbound communication under normal circumstances.
The process did involve upgrading the MongoDB package, so we’re wondering if that could be related.

Any insights or similar experiences would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

[ Note ]
I found that the issue occurs when I access the MongoDB shell.
For example, it happens when I connect using the following command:

mongosh "mongodb://<ID>:<PW>@<IPaddress>:<port>/<dbname>"

However, I don’t know how to resolve it.
Even after applying disableTelemetry(), the problem persists.

Hi @Dong_Cheol_Yun

mongosh will also periodically check for updated versions on startup.

Dear. @chris,

Thank you for the answer.
By the way, can I disable external communication in MongoDB?
If you know how, could you guide me?

Best Regards,
