connect MongoDB Compass to aws EC2 instance ETIMEDOUT error

Question

I am trying to connect to a remote mongoDB server in an EC2 instance with Compass, I have set a security group inbound rule for port 27017 to 0.0.0.0 in aws, and in the mongodb configuration file I have set the following and restarted the server:

# network interfaces
net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 0.0.0.0

Yet, I continue to get a timeout error while trying to connect remotely:

connect ETIMEDOUT ec2-public-ip:2701

What configuration could I be missing?

It was the Windows Server's firewall
