Website hosted on ec2 using route 53 DNS unable to connect while in Belize.

Question

I am trying to access my website hosted on AWS with Route 53 DNS while I am on the island of Belize. I am getting server not found. I have no problem connecting here in the US and friends are able to connect in India. Please advise why is this so and how do I fix it.

Hi Steven,

Here are the key points to consider:

* **Geo Restrictions**: Ensure there are no geo restrictions set in Route 53 that block Belize.
* **Local ISP Issues**: Belize might have ISPs that don't resolve certain domain names correctly.
* **DNS Propagation**: Even if it seems unlikely, there might still be DNS propagation delays.
* **Test with Different DNS**: While in Belize, try using a public DNS like Google's (8.8.8.8) to check if it's a local DNS issue.
* **Use a VPN**: Temporarily access the site via a VPN to see if that bypasses the problem.

Check these points, and if the issue persists, consider reaching out to AWS support or the local ISP for more insights.
