- Was non working static IP always in your ownership?
- Do you recall doing any abuse activity that could have triggered block at AWS side? ( some time rate limit blocks occurs which resolve it self in few days )
- When you are on your non working static VPN and go to website whatismyipaddress.com what IP do you see? share it here
- When you are on your non working static VPN. Do a tracert or traceroute to aws.amazon.com and share here.
When you are on your Dynamic VPN from same provider. Share output of 3 and 4 again.
This data may help some folks who have some access internal to AWS to investigate further.
Are you trying to access any specific web application hosted on aws or its just hitting aws.amazon.com. Generally this is a public URL and everyone can see it.
In terms of if you are connected to VPN and then you are trying to access aws.amazon.com and not able to do so , then its your firewall blocking the access to aws.amazon.com. In order to resolve this you need to allow aws.amazon.com in your network or proxy firewall if you are using.
In case if you are using any **specific application hosted on AWS network **then you need allow or block VPN IP addresses for your EC2 instances, use a network Access Control List (ACL) or security group rules in your VPC. Network ACLs and security group rules act as firewalls allowing or blocking IP addresses from accessing your resources
Same issue here. I can't seem to access AWS on any of the VPN servers I'm on (Using Astrill)

It is not my firewall. I am just trying to get onto aws.amazon.com website to login and get to the EC2 console. This works perfectly when VPN is not on. It also works perfectly with the VPN using static IPs from around the world and dynamic IPs from the same provider in the US. Only when I select the Static VPNs for the US (there are 5 based in NY) am I unable to access the site. When connected to these IPs, I am able able to browse and connect to everywhere I have tried except AWS> If I disconnect VPN, it connects immediately. The only conclusion I can come to (since these are shared VPNs from the provider) is that amazon blocked these particular IPs. I really don't want to change my VPN provider though.
There is a setting in VPN where you can allow fqdn for aws.amazon.com , as you mentioned you are able to access the site from anywhere in the world but only from US VPN you are not , there are some VPNs that does restrict specific fqdn , so you can try whitelist within VPN..
