Struggling to connect my SpringBoot project to MongoDB atlas

MongoDB Atlas
1

I am trying to implement Authentication to my Springboot project using JWT. I am using MongoDB Atlas. The only error I am getting is a com.mongodb.MongoSocketOpenException error. I have looked at several forums and I am not sure what to do.

This is the error log:
