Connect to Amazon (AWS) EC2 instance via browser

Question

I am having trouble connecting to an Amazon Elastic Cloud Computer Instance via a browser. I attempted going to ********.compute-1.amazonaws.c

Answer 1

I faced the same issue while setting up redash AMI image on AWS. Inbound security rules should be changed when instance is not running. Let's say if the instance is running (meaning it's active and started); If you change the inbound rules of that machine you'll still face firewall issue. So Stop the machine on which you want to change the inbound rules on. Change the inbound rules. Start the machine now. Now you can hit the machine url from the ip you just opened the access to the machine to.
