Port Forwarding in AWS Lightsail

0

I've set up a WAMP server in my AWS Windows Lightsail instance, running on my private IP address, port 80. I'd like to make it so that the public IP has a port that redirects traffic to my server. On my home machine, I can do this by accessing router settings from my internet provider. How would I do it on my VPC?

To redirect traffic from a public IP and port to your WAMP server running on a private IP and port within your AWS Lightsail instance, you'll need to configure a Network Address Translation (NAT) rule. AWS Lightsail instances use an automatically assigned static public IP address, and you can create a custom firewall rule to allow incoming traffic to your desired port.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Lightsail service.
  2. Click on the "Instances" tab in the left navigation pane.
  3. Locate your Windows instance and click on its name.
  4. In the instance details page, click on the "Networking" tab.
  5. In the "Firewall" section, click "Add rule."
  6. For the "Type" field, select "HTTP" if you want to allow HTTP traffic, or "Custom" for other specific ports. If you choose "Custom," provide the port number you'd like to open in the "Port range" field.
  7. For the "Source" field, you can choose "Anywhere" to allow traffic from any IP address or "Custom" to restrict access to specific IP addresses or CIDR blocks.
  8. Click "Save" to apply the new firewall rule.

Now, your WAMP server should be accessible from the public IP address of your Lightsail instance. However, since your WAMP server is running on your private IP, you need to ensure that it is configured to listen on all available network interfaces, not just the private IP address. To do this, you may need to edit your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) and change the "Listen" directive to "Listen 80" (without quotes) or "Listen 0.0.0.0:80". Then, restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect.
