AWS VPC can t access Internet despite configuring NAT Internet Gateway according to rules

0 votes

I'm a bit lost on that one - I've followed AWS documentation and it seems that there is nothing more I can find. The situation summary is that I have an EC2 instance within a VPC and it can't reach the Internet despite following Amazon AWS instructions in setting up a NAT for the VPC

  1. I have a VPC with one subnet (CIDR 10.0.0.0/24) and one EC2 instance in (it has private IP address within VPC only, 10.0.0.168)

  2. I have created an Internet Gateway and attached it to the said VPC.

  3. I have created a Network ACL with All Traffic Allow for 0.0.0.0/0 for both Inbound and Outbound traffic and attached the ACL to the VPC's only subnet.

You'll need two subnets. One is public, and the other is private.

Subnet that is open to the public

Public IP addresses can be enabled on a public network. It must have a NAT gateway as well as a route table:

Target Subnet 10.0.0.0/24
 local 0.0.0.0/0 internet-gateway private subnet

The private subnet should be used for your private instance. A route table should be present on the subnet:

10.0.0.0/24 is the local destination target.
0.0.0.0/0 nat-gateway-id \sNACL

It is preferable to leave the default NACLs alone. It's quite easy to make a mistake with these. Only security groups should be used to control access to and from your instance.
