Block Outgoing Network Connections
You can configure MongoDB Compass to not perform outgoing network operations other than those to the database. This lets you configure any edition of Compass to restrict outgoing connections in the same way Compass Isolated Edition restricts connections.
Warning
When you block outgoing network connections, Compass can't use third-party mapping services in schema visualizations.
Procedure
To block outgoing network operations, disable the networkTraffic
configuration option. You can set configuration options in either a
command line option or configuration file option.
Command Line Example
The following command starts MongoDB Compass from the command line and sets
the --no-networkTraffic option:
<path-to-Compass-executable> --no-networkTraffic
Note
The name and filepath of the Compass executable depend on your operating system.
Configuration File Example
You can specify the Compass configuration file in either EJSON
or YAML format. The following configurations set the networkTraffic
option to false:
EJSON
{ "networkTraffic": false }
YAML
networkTraffic: false
