Allow to Peer with VPC's that doesn't follow Private Networks Ranges

Allow to Peer with VPC's that doesn't follow Private Networks Ranges Currently I have one infrastructure based on a VPC with the CIDR range of 30.0.0.0/16, and I'm unable to make it safe with VPC peering because of the restrictions on this. https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-vpc-peering/ I thinl that allowing to peer with any AWS VPC's that do not overlap would be nice, as it is difficult to change the VPC when you have a running infrastructure, just to integrate safely with MongoDB Atlas

    Hi Daniel, I'm sorry you're running into this, but it's a nuanced one: peering with public ranges means giving up internet access which could potentially alter the manageability of the Atlas-side cluster and this is not something we can consider. If you're using public ranges in a private VPC, I strongly suggest that you either move to a private range and if that's not palatable, consider using either selective public IP Whitelisting or Atlas Private Endpoints (powered by AWS PrivateLink). Cheers -Andrew
