db.createUser({
    user: "root",  pwd: “PASSWORD_HERE”, 
  roles: [{"role":"root", "db":"admin"}]
})

Copy mongod.conf to /etc

Open /etc/mongod.conf in vim and replace the IP address with the VPS IP:

net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1,MY_VPS_IP_ADDRESS

Restart mongod with auth enabled:

mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db

Now access mongo shell with auth info:

mongo localhost:27017 -u root -p my_auth_password --authenticationDatabase admin

Add aliases in .bashrc:

alias="mongo localhost:27017 -u root -p my_auth_password --authenticationDatabase admin"
alias="mongod --auth --port 27017 --dbpath /data/dd"
