Why MongoDB connection gives ETIMEOUT error with ExpressJS?

Working with Data Drivers
,

Sometimes it works just fine & most of the time it’s unable to connect for this timeout error.
I am using WSL2 Ubuntu 20 with Windows 11 (latest).

My IPadress active in the network access (MongoCloud)

Error: querySrv ETIMEOUT _mongodb._tcp.test.y0gmmey.mongodb.net
    at QueryReqWrap.onresolve [as oncomplete] (node:internal/dns/promises:251:17) {
  errno: undefined,
  code: 'ETIMEOUT',
  syscall: 'querySrv',
  hostname: '_mongodb._tcp.test.y0gmmey.mongodb.net'
}

To solve this DNS error you might want to try to use faster DNS servers such Google’s 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

:memo: [Edited] (Avoid this reply, nothing important here)

This error raise because of I didn’t property setup my IP address at Mongodb Cloud Network access.

New error after setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 & …

If you are using mongoose try upgrading or downgrading the version you are using.

Otherwise try upgrading the mongodb driver.

Go to your Atlas cluster and make sure you have a primary. It is very unlikely that you do not have one so the error ReplicaSetNoPrimary is most likely another error that is wrongly misinterpreted. A different driver version might give a better error message or even not err at all.

How?

Shift to Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Works.
