cannot connect to virtual machine using mobile hotspot

0

My laptop uses my iphone hotspot and the Internet works fine, but it cannot connect to the AWS virtual machine. I tried to use other people's wifi and it can connect. I am sure it is my hotspot or virtual machine configuration issue but do not know how to fix it. Thanks.

Verify the inbound rules for the security group that is applied to your instance, looking for TCP port 22 (if it's Linux) or TCP port 3389 (if it's Windows). Is the security group allowing inbound connections from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0) or only a specific IP range.

If it's a specific IP range (or only an individual IP address) then is your iPhone's IP within this range of allowed address(es) - see https://www.whatismyip.com/

When you use somebody else's WiFi is their IP address in the allowed range?
