I am not able to connect to my AWS EC2 instance via my college proxy. However it connects when using a non-proxy connection. The error is as follows:
$ ssh -i .ssh/aws-key-fast-ai.pem ubuntu#ec2-*----.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com -vvv
OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

You can access it only if your ip is mentioned under inbound of aws server. When you are using a proxy , IP is getting changed which probably is not mentioned under the inbound.
I just found the answer.

You have to install corkscrew and follow the procedure listed in the link above. Thanks.

I am trying to connect to an EC2 machine with the following command line on my terminal:
ssh -i id_rsa_aws <ec2_ip_address> -l ec2-user -vvv
Here is the result:
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 48: Applying options for *
debug2: resolve_canonicalize: hostname <ec2_ip_address> is address

My ssh_config file:

I know the problem must come from my computer. I have tried using the .pem file and I am getting the same error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Things to check:
The instance is running Linux
The instance is launched in a public subnet, which is defined as having a Route Table entry to points to an Internet Gateway
The instance has a public IP address, which you are using for the connection
The Network Access Control Lists (NACLs) are set to their default "Allow All" values
A Security Group associated with the instance that permits inbound access on port 22 (SSH) either from your IP address, or from the Internet (0.0.0.0/0)
Your network permits an outbound SSH connection (try alternate networks, eg home vs work vs tethered to your phone)

Although my issue looks very generic and common, it doesn't seem to be identical to anything discussed here in stackoverflow. SecurityGroup has been set up with "MyIP" for ssh connection and I have been using correct pub IP to connect. Yet, I'm still getting timeout error as below. Is there something that I need to change in my Mac?

Here's my Security Group. You can see that it does have correct protocol and entered with my public IP.

And I can confirm that it does match when I look up via terminal.
MacBook-Pro ~ % dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com #ns1.google.com
"58.12.38.113"
And the EC2 instance does have this security group attached.

If there are any other ways to troubleshoot this, I'd really appreciate it.
Based on the comments, the issue was due to use of non-default NACLs. The solution was to allow SSH in the NACLs.
I have a simple configuration with 7 subnets, 1 NAT, 3 public, 3 private.
All in eu-west-2, then in each availability zone.
The routing is simple, Private goes via NAT interface. Public via IGW.
I have a "proxy" server to SSH jump/tunnel that sat on the Public subnets with a public address.
I can connect to this server without issues.
The problem lies with then me trying to connect to the EC2 instance (created by EB) on the private subnet.
I've check the route tables and security which look fine (they are pretty simple) and I've use the same configuration many times before.
It looks as if the connection is connecting, but it just sits there, doesn't error.
Here is the output when i run it with -vv switch, which suggests the SSH connection is successful.

Also, I've already checked the permissions on Mypem.pem with chmod 400.
It just sit (forever) on the line of debug above. Any help much appreciated - I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.
100% CPU
It took me ages to understand this, however on beanstalk it was picking up the application and hitting 100% CPU very quickly.
Because of the CPU I couldn't open an SSH session.
I hope this helps someone else in the future!
While Installing SSL Certificate on AWS, I renamed the old crt files (like a fool), and now I'm no longer able to access the AWS instance via SSH to fix the file names.
Is there a way to access my AWS instance's files other than SSH? Or, is there a way to continue using SSH to access the instance when the SSL certificates are down?
Originally when I was connecting after the change of file names, I got this prompt response from the server when SSH:

At one point I did a reboot on the server and now, I'm getting this when I try to SSH in:
> ssh -i tc.pem ubuntu#tc.com
ssh: connect to host tc.com port 22: Connection timed out
If I could get into the server or access the files in any way to rename them, it would be an easy fix. Appreciate any help anybody can offer.
This is fairly easy to do. Basically you will mount your EC2 instance's root volume (EBS volume) on another instancce, edit .ssh/authorized_keys and then reattach the volume back to your instance.
Here is an article that covers this step-by-step:
SSH Key Access Recovery on EC2 Instances
There are a number of similar articles on the Internet.

Corresponding Security Group allos all inbound traffic on all ports.
I tried on different internet connections, so I don't think NAT is there.
PS: I am not a first time ec2 user, used it before.
Changed Security Group's source from sg-57710f2a to 0.0.0.0/0
Now it works. As #john-hanley pointed out sg-57710f2a allows only connection from within host under that Security Group not outside
