I changed bindIp setting to
bindIp: 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0
in mongod.conf on my ubuntu server hosted on Linode and restarted mongod and status looks ok.
I opened mongodb port on ufw
sudo ufw status Status: active

Connecting to it from my mac throws error:

How to fix this issue?
The problem was wrong setting of bindIP in mmongod.conf. Changing to:
bindIp: 127.0.0.1,ip_address_of_host_running_mondgod
fixed the problem. Replace ip_address_of_host_running_mondgod with ip address of host running mongod like 137.142.177.4
