Can't ping the private ip of my ec2 instance

Question

I have setup a vpn connection from my SonicWall and setup an inbound ICMP secuirty group rule with echo request to allow ping from the external ip address of my sonicwall. In my sonicwall I can see the pring request going out successfully, but I not getting any response. I am able to ping the public ip address of my instance without any issues. What am I missing?

Answer

Hello.

If there are no problems with the EC2 security group or subnet network ACL settings, I think there may be a routing problem.  
Is there a communication route to the on-premises set in the subnet route table?  
If it is set statically, please manually set the communication route in the route table.

If you are using BGP, try enabling propagated in your route table.

Will it be successful if I set the IP address restriction for ICMP communication to 0.0.0.0/0 etc. in the EC2 security group?  
If it succeeds, there is a problem with the IP address range set in the security group.
