Body

I want my application to connect to db(MongoDB) hosted at somewhere else but even though docs says that all outbound connection from codespace is opened, it just keep show timeout.
I tested on my local machine and it works fine.
Any idea why?

Hello @hswhsw610! Could you try the following:

• Confirm outbound traffic works generally by running ping google.com in a terminal in your codespace?
• See if there's a better error message from mongo by installing the mongo command (https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/bionic/mongodb-org/6.0/multiverse/binary-amd64/mongodb-org-mongos_6.0.3_amd64.deb) in your codespace and trying to connect via the command line?

Since i can do pnpm install outbound is definitely opened.
I tried mongosh but error message is same as timeout.

Wait, pinging google doesn't work @cdwort
any idea why? Thanks for trying to help
