I just downloaded version 0.9.0 RC 2 but cannot see ssh tunnel settings for connection. Is it removed?

@boosis Yes, it is currently disabled and was mentioned in the list of known limitations of RC versions. The best workaround for now is to open SSH tunnel on your Mac OS and connect Robomongo with MongoDB via this tunnel. I'm ready to help you to do this, if you are unsure how to do this. But here is a detailed explanation about how to do this for Mac: http://manas.tungare.name/blog/ssh-port-forwarding-on-mac-os-x

Basically, you need to run the following command:

ssh -L 27017:localhost:2999 [email protected]

All requests to localhost:27017 will be forwarded to cloud.database.net:2999. After this you can connect Robomongo with this settings:

Host Address: localhost
Host Port: 27017

@schetnikovich I guess I missed that from the list :) No worries, I am already using the ssh tunnelling and port forwarding.

Thanks for the help
