@Humanasset I figured out my issue regarding firewalls. You need to update the route table to send all traffic outside the vpc to the internet gateway (assuming you had installed via Epic’s AMI).
The troubleshooting instructions mention this:
- Verify that the route table for the subnet has a route that sends all traffic destined outside the VPC to the internet gateway for the VPC. For more information, see Creating a custom route table (Internet Gateways) in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
After I updated the route table, I was able to connect via RDP with the default inbound connection settings in my security group rather than allowing all connections.
Hope that helps
