      What problem are you facing?

      Cannot connect (program hangs) a server located over a VPN. Localhost connects fine. Older drivers also work fine.

      What driver and relevant dependency versions are you using?

      I face the problem only on version 4.0.x. By using the previous release (3.6.10) everything works fine (both VPN and localhost).

      Steps to reproduce?

      I'm using this snippet of code:

          const client = new mongodb.MongoClient(
        "mongodb://10.2.0.30:27017"
    );
    try {
        await client.connect();     //hangs here
        const db = client.db("au15db");
        await init_table({ db });
    }
    catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    }
    finally {
        await client.close();
    }

      The remote server runs MongoDB 3.6, while the local one is 4.2.3.

       

      I observed something strange in the near past with Compass, yet over the same VPN, and I've posted the issue (see above). However, it has been patched after some days.
