Possible error in the connection information for sandbox access

Hi guys, thanks heaps for the Graph Academy its awesome.

I am trying the connection instructions provided in the neo4j sandbox setup page.

In the instructional it provides the following for the .env file

NEO4J_URI=bolt+s://fb**.neo4jsandbox.com:7687
NEO4J_USERNAME=*****
NEO4J_PASSWORD=******

I am not sure if it is a dns issue or some upstream filtering but that just wouldnt work for me, the response was always 'the server returned http'. I had to change it to the ip address as opposed to the dns name bolt://[ip]:7687 to get access.

this was confirmed with the python library as well as the node library.

Library: neo4j-driver-bolt-connection@4.4.1
Library: neo4j-driver@4.4.1

Hopefully that helps someone else as well.

It looks like I've included the wrong credentials in the lesson, I have just updated the course files and it should go live shortly

Awesome, thanks Adam
