expose ec2 public IP over VPN

Question

I want to expose the public IP of my ec2 over VPN, I already have a NAT instance that is reachable over VPN with elastic IP below my routes :
* TGW routes table
1.2.3.4/32 -> VPC attachment,
 5.6.7.8/32-> VPC attachment.
* public route table
1.2.3.4/32 -> eni-nat,
5.6.7.8/32 -> eni-instance.
* Private subnet route table
10.0.0.0/16->local,
0.0.0.0/0 ->eni-nat.

When I try to ping the nat elastic IP it works, but the elastic IP of the instance is not working

Answer

No, you can't do that because the Elastic IP is not directly "attached" to the instance. The instance only "knows" about its private IP address, not the Elastic IP.

You could potentially get this working by doing some really interesting iptables work on the instance but it would be super complex because you wouldn't want outbound traffic to use the public IP directly from the instance except when replying to traffic that is going out the VPN - so you'd need some way to identify that. In short, I wouldn't do this.
