How to Grant New IP Addresses Access to Your AWS Server

How to Grant New IP Addresses Access to Your AWS Server

The IP address assigned to your computer will change based on the internet service it is connected to. For example, your computer will have a different IP address when connected to your home network, office network, hotspot from your mobile device, or other public networks such as hotels, airports, and cafes. The IP address will also differ if you connect to the same network via Ethernet or WiFi. Therefore, to remote into Builder Captial's AWS server with a new internet connection, you'll need to grant access to an IP address for that specific network.

Here are the steps: 
1. Log into your AWS account and go to the EC2 Dashboard
2. On the left navigation pane, scroll down to Network & Security and click on Security Groups
3. Click and open the name of the security group that you are using for your EC2 instance
4. Under the Inbound rules tab, click on the Edit inbound rules button
5. Click on the Add rule button and make sure that the fields display the following info:

• Type: RDP
• Protocol (default value): TCP
• Port range (default value): 3389
• Source (default value): Custom
• IP address field: {your IP address here}/32 (i.g., 45.73.123.243/32)
• Description (optional): Note What network this IP is for

6. Click the Save rules button at the bottom of the screen

Changes saved should take effect immediately.
