With what address should a server located on AWS be accessed?

I\'ve created an AWS instance and installed a web server on it. However the server is not reachable via any

Answer 1

I have faced the similar issue while connecting from my local mac machine

Work around as below:

1. * Route table => add 0.0.0.0/0 and target to your Internet Gateway *

2. Under Network ACL add ad below

   2.1 for pings from your local machine ->

   All ICMP - IPv4 ICMP (1) ALL 0.0.0.0/0 ALLOW

   2.2 ssh/other connectivity

   SSH (22) TCP (6) 22 0.0.0.0/0
   
   ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0
   

3. Good practice associate your subnet to your route table

4. Under Ec2 -> Security Group

   4.1 To allow SSH connectivity, just add as below

   SSH (22) TCP (6) 22 0.0.0.0/0
   

   4.2 for pings to work from your local machine as as below

   All ICMP - IPv4 All N/A 0.0.0.0/0
   

This will make your connectivity works for pings & ssh from your local machine using your KEY file (xx.pem)
