I enabled all necessary ports for coturn server on my instance from security group. I also configure the turnserver.conf file correctly, but still when I added my turn server on trickleICE, it shows error 701.
Here is my turnserver.conf:

My suggestion is to gather more information on the reasons of the failure.
I'm assuming you're configuring the Trickle ICE application with a turn:IP:port server URL, which allows for unencrypted exchanges with TURN.
This means you can trace on your machine, e.g. using Wireshark, and verify whether the STUN binding requests and TURN Allocate requests are being sent out to the expected TURN server's public IP and port, and whether there are responses to them being received by the browser.
Additional checks you can do is on the TURN server side. With something like netstat -tunapl you can verify that coturn is not only running but also listening on the expected port (which should be 3478 since you left it unspecified).
If all looks as expected, then run a trace on coturn's host while you trigger a "Gather candidates" from the Trickle ICE application. You could use something like ngrep -d any -lqtW byline port 3478 to see the activity and content exchanged.
If coturn doesn't receive anything, then check again the EC2 instance Security Group and ensure you're allowing traffic to port 3478 UDP (and TCP). Double check the EC2 instance's public IP address is what you're using in the Trickle ICE application.
If instead you have more than one network interface assigned to that EC2 instance, then ensure you have a listening-ip configuration item set to the correct private IP address, and an external-ip directive which includes PUBLIC_IP:PRIVATE_IP, where the public IP is the one you're trying to use and the private IP is the one coturn is listening on.
e.g.:
listening-ip: 172.10.10.10
external-ip: 30.30.30.30/172.10.10.10
Then try again. Anyway the information you can gather this way can be used to improve the initial question and get more useful answers.
There may be two parts from your config file that needs to be modified.
set the relay-ip to your private ip address.
external-ip=<my public ip>/<my private ip>
listening-ip=<my private ip>
relay-ip=<my private ip>
In your ec2's security group settings, you have set the inbound rules for IPv6 addresses. You should add 0.0.0.0/0 (for IPv4) to the CIDR blocks field in the inbound rules.

I've got an AWS VPC set up with 3 subnets - 1 public subnet and 2 private. I have an EC2 instance with an associated Elastic Block Store (the EBS contains my website) running in the public subnet, and a MySQL database in the private subnets. The security group attached to the EC2 instance allows inbound HTTP access from any source, and SSH access from my IP address only. The outbound security rule allows all traffic to all destinations. The security group associated with the database allows MySQL/Aurora access only for both inbound and outbound traffic, with the source and destination being the public access security group.
This has all been working perfectly well, but when I came to setting up the NACLs for the subnets I ran into a snag that I can't figure out. If I change the inbound rule on the public subnet's NACL to anything other than 'All Traffic' or 'All TCP', I get an error response from my website: Unable to connect to the database: Connection timed out. 2002. I've tried using every option available and always get this result. I'm also getting an unexpected result from the NACL attached to the private subnets: If I deny all access (i.e. delete all rules other than the default 'deny all' rule) for both inbound and outbound traffic, the website continues to function correctly (provided the inbound rule on the public subnet's NACL is set to 'All Traffic' or 'All TCP').
A similar question has been asked here but the answer was essentially to not bother using NACLs, rather than an explanation of how to use them correctly. I'm studying for an AWS Solutions Architect certification so obviously need to understand their usage and in my real-world example, none of AWS' recommended NACL settings work.
I know this is super late but I found the answer to this because I keep running into the same issue and always try to solve it with the ALL TRAFFIC rule. However, no need to do that anymore; it's answered here. The Stack Overflow answer provides the link to an AWS primary source that actually answers your question.
Briefly, you need to add a Custom TCP Rule to your outbound NACL and add the port range 1024 - 65535. This will allow the clients requesting access through the various ports to receive the data requested. If you do not add this rule, the outbound traffic will not reach the requesting clients. I tested this through ICMP (ping), ssh (22) http (80) and https (443).
Why do the ports need to be added? Apparently, AWS sends out traffic through one of the ports between 1024 and 63535. Specifically, "When a client connects to a server, a random port from the ephemeral port range (1024-63535) becomes the client's source port." (See second link.)
The general convention around ACLs is that because they are stateless, incoming traffic is sent back out through the mandatory corresponding port, which is why most newbies (or non hands on practitioners like me) may miss the "ephemeral ports" part of building custom VPCs.
For what it's worth, I went on to remove all the outgoing ports and left just the ephemeral port range. No outgoing traffic was allowed. It seems like either the ACL still needs those ports listed so it can send traffic requested through those ports. Perhaps the outgoing data, first goes through the appropriate outgoing port and then is routed to the specific ephemeral port to which the client is connected. To verify that the incoming rules still worked, I was able to ssh into an EC2 within a public subnet in the VPC, but was not able ping google.com from same.
The alternative working theory for why outgoing traffic was not allowed is because the incoming and matching outgoing ports are all below 1024-63535. Perhaps that's why the outgoing data is not picked up by that range. I will get around to configuring the various protocol (ssh, http/s, imcp) to higher port numbers,, within the range of the ephemeral ports, to continue to verify this second point.
====== [Edited to add findings ======
As a follow up, I worked on the alternate theory and it is likely that the outgoing traffic was not sent through the ephemeral ports because the enabled ports (22, 80 and 443) do not overlap with the ephemeral port range (1024-63535).
I verified this by reconfiguring my ssh protocol to login through port 2222 by editing my sshd_config file on the EC2 (instructions here. I also reconfigured my http protocol to provide access through port 1888. You also need to edit the config file of your chosen webserver, which in my case was apache thus httpd. (You can extrapolate from this link). For newbies, the config files will be generally found in the etc folder. Be sure to restart each service on the EC2 ([link][8] <-- use convention to restart ssh)
Both of these reconfigured port choices was to ensure overlap with the ephemeral ports. Once I made the changes on the EC2, I then changed the security group inbound rule, removed 22, 80 and 443 and added 1888 and 2222. I then went to the NACL and removed the inbound rules 22, 80 and 443 and added 1888 and 2222. [![inbound][9]][9]For the NACL, I removed the outbound rules 22, 80 and 443 and just left the custom TCP rule and add the ephemeral ports 1024-63535.[![ephemeral onnly][10]][10]
I can ssh using - p 2222 and access the web server through 1888, both of which overlap with ephemeral ports.[![p 1888][11]][11][![p2222][12]][12]

I'm not sure why my browser is timing out when I try to connect to my AWS Ubuntu Instance squid proxy
I want to have my AWS Ubuntu instance act as a proxy for my python requests. The requests I make in my program will hit my AWS proxy and my proxy will return to me the webpage. The proxy is acting as a middleman. I am running squid in this Ubuntu instance. This instance is also within a VPC.
The VPC security group inbound traffic is currently set to
HTTP, TCP, 80, 0.0.0.0/0
SSH, TCP, 22, 0.0.0.0/0
RDP, TCP, 3389, 0.0.0.0/0
HTTPS, TCP, 443, 0.0.0.0/0
and outbound traffic is open to all traffic
This is my current squid configuration is the default squid.conf except that I changed one line to
http_access allow all meaning traffic is open to all.
However when I changed my mozilla browser to use the Ubuntu instance's Public IP and squid.conf default port of 3128, I cannot see any traffic going through my proxy using this command on the ubuntu instance
tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log
My browser actually times out when I try to connect to a website such as google.com. I am following this tutorial but I cannot get the traffic logs that his person is getting.
HTTP/S as shown in security group settings actually has nothing whatsoever to do with HTTP/S.
Many port numbers have assigned names. When you see "HTTP," here, it's only an alias that means "whatever stuff happens on TCP port 80." The list of values only inludes common services and the names aren't always precise compared the official port names, but the whole point is to give neophytes a word that nakes sense.
What should I change? I always thought I should be leaving HTTP/S ports to their default values.
That is not at all what this does. As already inferable from above, changing an "HTTP" rule from port 80 to something else does not change the value for the HTTP port on instances behind it. Changing the port value makes the rule no longer be an "HTTP" rule, since HTTP is just a friendly label which means "this rule is for TCP port 80."
You need a custom TCP rule allowing port 3128 from your IP, and that's it.
You need to add 3128 as custom TCP in your SG. This will allow Squid to send/ receive traffic.
Also as a best practice, make SSH accessible from your own IP rather than public.
Created an AWS AMI instance.
I can telnet from the instance itself
telnet [Pv4 Public IP] 9200
But not from my pc.
This is my security group
What am I doing wrong?
You can check your Network ACL configurations.
It looks like there is some other firewall in between your PC and server which is blocking you on 9200.
If you can access port 80 via telnet or you're able to SSH in it's likely you have a network ACL in place. If you can not access port 80 via telnet but you can via a browser it's like a local config - maybe AV or a firewall.
EC2 instances use security groups for their firewall
Another test to narrow down the the issue would to see if you could telnet from another instances in the same subenet in the same AZ. Being in the same subnet you should not be affected by a network ACL.
You can have a look at this telnet-to a cloud instance from outside
The solution to problem was "Open the services and make the telnet manual and right click on it and chose start"
As well make sure that the instance is residing in a public VPC
Based on what you've described, there isn't really much else to work with. Your ability to telnet the public IP from the instance implies the server is listening on the external interface and your security group is already set to have the port open to all incoming connections.
Aside from the trivial overlooking of not actually having the instance under the listed security group, the only possibility I can think of now is an active firewall on the instance. In the case of iptables or ufw (which is an interface to iptables), it's trivial to verify whether they are indeed getting in the way:
// List iptables access rules
sudo iptables -L -v
// List access rules via ufw
sudo ufw status
You said: "This is my SG", but...which way? Inbound or outbound?
It can simply be that your host can't reply to your PC.
Try to add a rule which adds outbound TCP ranging from ports 32768 to 65535 (ephemeral ports), so that the telnet server response packets can travel back to your PC.
Otherwise, like the others said, look at one level up, VPC-level (network ACL).
You might have your acceptor process running on 127.0.0.1:9000 which means only local clients can connect. This is not related to your Security Group which could be wide open.
Run lsof -i:9000 if on unix.
If you see something like this under NAME then host IP used to start your acceptor will needs to change from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 (and secure via SG/FW).
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 2777 ubuntu 148u IPv6 26856 0t0 TCP localhost:afs3-callback (LISTEN)
A Telnet service is not installed by default on an Amazon Linux AMI.
If you wish to use it, you will need to install it yourself, eg: Install and Setup Telnet on EC2 Amazon Linux or CentOS.
However, these days it is recommended to use ssh instead of telnet because it is more secure. See: Telnet on wikipedia
Just a thought, check firewall of your PC.
Need to ensure your SSH key you generated via IAM and attached to the EC2 at launch is added to the login:
ssh-add -K <yourkeyname>.pem
ssh ubuntu#<yourdns or ip>.com == or == ssh ec2-user#<yourdns or ip>
I have an instance m3 large both the instance and the security group are outside vpc. I'm running a simple server application at port 5674. the port 5674 is open to all in the security group. still my client code is not able to reach the port when given the public ip.
The error it gives is EHOSTUNREACH
At Server side this is the response of
netstat -atn
tcp6 0 0 :::5674 :::* LISTEN
At Client
netcat -v myPublicIp 5674
connect to myPublicIp port 5674 (tcp) failed: No route to host
what could be the reason ?
same client program works if I give localhost as the host.
It doesn't even work from the same system .
The only case an instance is outside VPC is EC2-classic. If this is your case then consider moving to EC2-VPC because you have a lot of restrictions.
If you create the account within the last year or two then your instance IS in VPC and there's just no way to do otherwise.
Check your subnet, all SGs, NACLs. If you can SSH there from your desktop without a jump box then routing is OK, otherwise check it too.
I have created a VPC with public and private subnets on AWS. All app servers are in private subnets and all outbound requests have to be through an internet-facing NAT instance.
At the moment, our project requires the app servers to access a ftp server provided by a service provider.
I have tried several ways to manage that, but all no luck. What I have done was to open a port range, let's say (40000 - 60000) on both NAT and APP security groups, also standard ftp ports 20 - 21 as well.
The user authentication can be passed, but I could not list contents from app servers.
I am able to access the ftp server from NAT, not problem at all.
So what should I do to make it work?
#JohnRotenstein is absolutely correct that you should use Passive FTP if you can. If, like me, you're stuck with a client who insists that you use Active FTP because their FTP site that they want you to connect to has been running since 1990 and changing it now is completely unreasonable, then read on.
AWS's NAT servers don't support a machine in a private subnet connecting using Active FTP. Full stop. If you ask me, it's a bug, but if you ask AWS support they say it's an unsupported feature.
The solution we finally came up with (and it works) is to:
Add an Elastic Network Interface (ENI) in a public subnet on to your EC2 instance in the private subnet
So now your EC2 instance has 2 network adapters, 2 internal IPs, etc.
Let's call this new ENI your "public ENI"
Attach a dedicated elastic IP to your new public ENI
Let's assume you get 54.54.54.54 and the new public ENI's internal IP address is 10.1.1.10
Add a route in your operating system's networking configuration to only use the new public ENI
In windows, the command will look like this, assuming the evil active ftp server you're trying to connect to is at 8.1.1.1:
route add 8.1.1.1 mask 255.255.255.254 10.1.1.1 metric 2
This adds a route for all traffic to the FTP server at 8.1.1.1 using subnet mask 255.255.255.254 (ie. this IP and only this IP) should go to the internet gateway 10.1.1.1 using ethernet adapter 2 (your second NIC)
Fed up yet? Yeah, me too, but now comes the hard part. The OS doesn't know it's public IP address for the public EIN. So you need to teach your FTP client to send the PORT command with the public IP. For example if using CURL, use the --ftp-port command like so:
curl -v --ftp-port 54.54.54.54 ftp://8.1.1.1 --user myusername:mypass
And voila! You can now connect to a nightmare active FTP site from an EC2 machine that is (almost entirely) in a private subnet.
Try using Passive (PASV) mode on FTP.
From Slacksite: Active FTP vs. Passive FTP, a Definitive Explanation:
In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20.
Thus, the traffic is trying to communicate on an additional port that is not passed through the NAT. Passive mode, instead, creates an outbound connection, which will then be permitted through the NAT
