Can you try using the VPC Reachability Analyzer to see if it finds any blockage? Go from your instance to the internet gateway.

Hello,

To troubleshoot this issue, you could follow the steps below:

  1. Identify and verify the source and destination IP addresses. Already checked
  2. Security group inbound rule to allow RDP and HTTP Https: Already checked 
  3. Check if the instance is created in the correct subnet. If yes, then verify the following: 3a. The route table associated with the subnet has a route to the internet (0.0.0.0/0 > igw-abcd). 3b. NACLs associated with the subnet allow inbound as RDP protocol or HTTPS,  and outbound as ephemeral ports (1024–65535).
  4. If you still see the same issue, try to reach the public domain via ping (8.8.8.8) from your AWS EC2 instance. At the same time, you can also try it on the source machine. (This will help you check if you have internet connectivity from both the source and destination sides.)
  5. If it's still not working, perform a traceroute to check what hops you see between source and destination.
  6. Last, verify the flowlogs to see if you see any packets as rejects or if you see traffic from the source machine.

In addition to all this, you can use the Resource Map as well. Please make sure you sanitize the resource IDs before sharing.
