Answer 1

I solved the issue myself. Posting the solution below so someone might find helpfull.

In remote MongoDB server 192.168.26.104 i changed the bind_ip and now my script can connect to it successfully

/etc/mongod.conf

From bind_ip = 127.0.0.1

To bind_ip = 192.168.26.104

service mongod restart
