I created a new ubuntu instance in AWS, I can ssh connect to it successfully.
However when I try to install packages using this command, it won't work :
sudo apt-get install apache2
...
...
0% [Connecting to ap-southeast-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.91.23)]^Cubuntu#ip-10-1-0-99:/etc$
This never moves forward !
I tried ping google.com.au, also no response.
Here is the VPC config of AWS:
Network ACL :
Outbound:
Rule # Type Protocol Port Range Destination Allow / Deny
100 ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0 ALLOW
* ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0 DENY
Inbound :
Rule # Type Protocol Port Range Source Allow / Deny
10 HTTP (80) TCP (6) 80 0.0.0.0/0 ALLOW
120 HTTPS (443) TCP (6) 443 0.0.0.0/0 ALLOW
140 SSH (22) TCP (6) 22 0.0.0.0/0 ALLOW
* ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0 DENY
security Group outbound settings :
Type Protocol Port Range Destination
ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0
Routing table setting:
Destination Target Status Propagated
10.1.0.0/24 local Active No
0.0.0.0/0 igw-cfe30caa Active No
What could be wrong here ?
EDIT: nslookup & dig command works fine!
Thanks !
Your inbound network ACL is only allowing traffic addressed to inbound TCP ports 22, 80, and 443. It doesn't allow the responses for your outbound requests, on your ephemeral ports.
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
32768 61000
You need a rule in the network ACL to allow TCP 32768 through 61000... or, better, don't use the inbound network ACL at all -- set it back to the default, to allow all.
You almost certainly don't need to use network ACLs unless you have a particularly complex network configuration. The inbound rules in the security group are usually sufficient to control access to an instance. Inbound security group rules deny by default, and unlike Network ACLs, which are stateless packet filters, security groups are stateful, TCP session-aware.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Security.html#VPC_Security_Comparison
Important: do not add the ephemeral port rule discussed above to the security group inbound rules. Since security groups are stateful, you only want to "allow" traffic in the direction where you want TCP sessions to be initiated. Responses to established TCP sessions are allowed automatically by security group rules, but not network ACL rules, because they're implemented differently.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_ACLs.html
* ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0 DENY - Wrong
* ALL Traffic ALL ALL 0.0.0.0/0 Allow - Right
Please allow Outbound, if you want to connect to external servers like google.com
or even want to update- sudo apt-get update
You can allow the outbound using AWS front-end goto Security Groups -> Outbound
Make sure you select the right group for your AWS instance

I'd like to configure an NSG to whitelist port 53 to my internal DNS server, as well as Azure's platform DNS at 168.63.129.16, but block all other outbound DNS connections.
I've found discussions (no official documentation) saying that DNS traffic is handled specially, so a generic deny-all-outbound rule to anywhere doesn't work (reference 1, reference 2). That's consistent with my tests as well. Specifically, here are some outbound deny rules I tried that DON'T work to block DNS traffic:
Source
Source Ports
Destination
Destination Ports
Protocol
Any
*
Any
*
Any
Any
*
Any
53
Any
Any
*
<specific_IP>
*
Any
Any
*
<specific_IP>
53
Any
Here's what does work:
Source
Source Ports
Destination
Destination Ports
Protocol
Any
*
ServiceTag => AzurePlatformDNS
*
Any
However, that blocks traffic to both my internal DNS, and Azure's platform DNS at 168.63.129.16. I can set up a whitelist rule for my internal DNS, but whitelisting 168.63.129.16 doesn't appear to work.
Is there any way to accomplish specifically what I'm looking for? (Whitelist of specific IP(s) and Azure's platform DNS)
Finally, are there any other special holes that Azure pokes through a generic block-all-outbound NSG rule, and is there anywhere those are documented?
I installed Grafana in an AWS linux machine. Post that i started Grafana server also which is there in bin folder. But still i am unable to access Grafana UI from a web browser. I am using below URL to access Grafana UI
http://52.209.135.66:8000/
I tried to check connectivity from terminal by using below command
wget http://52.209.135.66:8000/
the output of the command is
--2020-07-22 17:40:12-- http://52.209.135.66:8000/
Connecting to 52.209.135.66:8000... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.
--2020-07-22 17:42:22-- (try: 2) http://52.209.135.66:8000/
Connecting to 52.209.135.66:8000...
As suggested in few online articles i executed below command to remove the firewall settings, still it is not accessible
sudo iptables -F
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
Check the following areas:
Inbound Rule for the Security Groups attached to your instance: they must allow for port 8000 coming from 0.0.0.0/0
Custom Network ACLs associated with the VPC subnet where your instance is provisioned (Default ACL should allow all traffic). Ensure either all traffic is allowed or there are rules that allow inbound traffic on port 8000 from 0.0.0.0/0 AND outbound traffic to anywhere on the peripheral ports.
The instance is in a public subnet: that is, there's route from the subnet to the Internet Gateway.
The IP address is associated with your instance
I want to secure my web server vm to limit mainly to 443 and 3389 ports strictly. I denied everything else both outbound and inbound in the NSG for the web vm. But I can't rdp after doing so. When I relax the NSG to allow all outbound, then rdp starts working. My question is what outbound ports and protocols the rdp service needs to be opened in nsg beside 3389?
thesushil: In my case it turns out, I just needed to add an outbound rule to allow Azure AD communication over http and https, because I have azure AD authentication enabled. But I think the answer below would be helpful to others.
Be default, the RDP server listens on TCP port 3389 and UDP port 3389. Read wiki. You also could change the listening port for remote desktop.
If you want to secure your Azure VM limit to 443 and 3389 ports, you can add inbound port rules like this to only allow your client-specific IP address to access your Azure VM.
Also, please note that If inbound traffic is allowed over a port, it's not necessary to
specify an outbound security rule to respond to traffic over the port. Read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/security-overview#security-rules
Network security group security rules are evaluated by priority using
the 5-tuple information (source, source port, destination, destination
port, and protocol) to allow or deny the traffic. A flow record is
created for existing connections. Communication is allowed or denied
based on the connection state of the flow record. The flow record
allows a network security group to be stateful. If you specify an
outbound security rule to any address over port 80, for example, it's
not necessary to specify an inbound security rule for the response to
the outbound traffic. You only need to specify an inbound security
rule if communication is initiated externally. The opposite is also
true. If inbound traffic is allowed over a port, it's not necessary to
specify an outbound security rule to respond to traffic over the port.
Existing connections may not be interrupted when you remove a security
rule that enabled the flow. Traffic flows are interrupted when
connections are stopped and no traffic is flowing in either direction,
for at least a few minutes.
Hope it helps.
I had create a new VPS instance in GCP successfully. Logged in via ssh and take root access. My commands to setting up a tun1 interface was successfull done:
ip tunnel del tun1
ip tunnel add tun1 mode gre remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xx local xx.xxx.xxx.xxx ttl 255
ip link set tun1 up
ip link set tun1 mtu 1360
ip addr add xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/32 dev lo
ip r add xxx.xxx.xxx.x/32 dev tun1
ip route add default via xxx.xxx.xxx.x dev tun1 table 200
ip rule add from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx table 200
If I check with lsmode | grep gre, I see
# lsmod | grep tun
tun 31740 0
ip_tunnel 25163 1 ip_gre
I try also:
# modprobe ip_tunnel
# modprobe gre
#
No results be displayed.
If everything is okay, I should be able to access my server with the external dedicated IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xx (it is a Cloud DNS system).
Push, could anybody out there help me ?
Unfortunately Google doesn't allow GRE traffic.
See here:
https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewalls#blockedtraffic
Always blocked traffic Google Cloud always blocks the traffic that is
described in the following table. Your firewall rules cannot be used
to allow any of this traffic.
Always blocked traffic Applies to GRE traffic All sources and
destinations, whether the source or destination is an internal IP
address or an external IP address.
This is now supported.
External IPv4 and IPv6 addresses only accept TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPIP, AH, ESP, SCTP, and GRE packets. Resources that use external IP addresses impose additional protocol restrictions:
Forwarding rules for protocol forwarding, external HTTP(S) Load Balancing, External SSL Proxy Load Balancing, External TCP Proxy Load Balancing, and Network Load Balancing only process the protocols and ports configured on the forwarding rule.
Cloud VPN gateways only accept VPN protocols.
I am new to this Aws security to deploy in amazon webservice.
When i restrict security groups with some IP address, my application runs dead slow or it may not run also, thats the reason i am getting connection time out when i try to call webservice which is deployed in aws. When i open the IP address restriction in Security groups it works fine.
How to configure my AWS using security groups. so that my application is accessible to only to some restricted networks.
Please help me put on this.
Below are the my security group details
INBOUND
Type Protocol Port range Source
MYSQL TCP 3306 X.X.X.X/X
SSH TCP 22 X.X.X.X/X
HTTP TCP 80 X.X.X.X/X

i am using hibernate for DB connection from my web application. But everytime i am getting connection timeout with the above security group. but if i remove the IP address restrictions it works fine.
Note: DB connection works fine from mysql workbench
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://schemaname.amazonDBInsatnce:3306/test</property>
Security Groups will not "slow down" access to an Amazon EC2 instance. They are used to determine which ports are open to a given range of IP addresses. Either the traffic is allowed through, or it is not.
Security Groups can be defined for Inbound and Outbound traffic. By default, all Inbound traffic is denied and all Outbound traffic is permitted.
It is possible that your application is trying to access some external service and is timing-out, hence causing delays. Permitted all Outbound traffic is usually acceptable, so try that first and see if your application performs better.
Also, check the log files that your application is producing to see if any errors are being generated, which will give you a hint as to what might be happening.
