Unable to initiate connection to sandbox. NSLOOKUP fails.
My connection string:
mongo “mongodb+srv://sandbox.mty4ywf.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase” --username m001-student
Connection info from Mongo Atlas portal:
Switch up your dns resolver. Its working fine:
mongosh --quiet "mongodb+srv://sandbox.mty4ywf.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase" --eval 'db.hello().ok'

The drivers look up SRV and TXT records in dns and connect using the hosts, ports and connection options returned from them:
nslookup -type=any sandbox.mty4ywf.mongodb.net
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53

Thank You. This was a good suggestion. I updated to use Google DNS and it works now.
