I am not able to connect my server in MongoDB Compass. I am trying to connect by identity file. I am providing hostname username and file. I got:

'Error creating SSH Tunnel: Timed out while waiting for forwardOut'

What does it mean?

Hi, krl! I was getting the exact same error from MongoDB Compass Community 1.11.1 while trying to connect through an SSH tunnel, with a ppk file protected by a passphrase.

Are you putting your remote server IP or domain name in the first field (hostname)? That was my mistake.

What solved it for me was setting the Hostname field (the first one on top) to localhost instead of remote server IP or domain name. Put your domain/IP only on the field SSH Hostname.

I hope it helps.
