connect remotely to mongoDB server

Question

I have installed MongoDB on a fresh Centos7 server. I have installed MongoDB accroding to this tutrial: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-mongodb-on-centos-7/

The installation was completed succsessfully, when I write mongo on the shell this is the output:

[root@centos-512mb-nyc3-01 ~]# mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.12

connecting to: test

Server has startup warnings:

2016-12-31T18:37:11.734+0000 [initandlisten]

2016-12-31T18:37:11.734+0000 [initandlisten] ** WARNING: Readahead for /var/lib/mongo is set to 4096KB

2016-12-31T18:37:11.734+0000 [initandlisten] ** http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/readahead .

I want to connect remotly to mongo via RoboMongo or NodeJS app. but when I have tried mongo mongodb://138.197.80.108/ I get network unreachable.

There is something that I need to do to connect remotly to mongo?

Thanks :)
