It is simply because your host does not have the pseudo/fake IP address 1.1.1.1.

hmm, is there any way to whitelist access from IP address, the way they did on atlas?

bindIp is not a whitelist of IPs that are allowed to connect, this is assigning the IP address that the mongo process will run on, and other hosts will use to connect. Which should be the IP of the server.

Allowing all hosts to connect to your mongodb on a linux server requires you to open the FW for the port (27017) on the server.
