I am running 16.04 Ubuntu locally, I am running a AWS instance with an Ubuntu 16.04 image. I am unable to request this site with curl (using to test for internet connectivity)

curl https://oddsportal.com

It returns

* Failed to connect to oddsportal.com port 443: Connection timed out

Here are my outbound and inbound rules respectively. inbound outbound

These are the results from netstat

netstat -nlp

  • before digging more into configs, your netstat command was something like netstat -aln ? Do you understand netstat output? Basically there is no service listening on port 80 or 443. You have to start your webserver first!

  • After you start your web server, the next barrier is usually the security group, internet gateway, and routing.

  • yes I ran that command, as I saw others had used it in similar questions. I don't know why those ports aren't open when I have allowed them in my inbound and outbound rules. By starting the webserver do you mean running the AWS instance on my machine?

  • your site need to be served by a running webserver like nginx, apache etc. What is your webserver ? you need to start it before trying to access the site

  • @vx3r To be clear, this isn't my site. I am simply using the curl comand to determine if my AWS Instance has internet connection, so I can eventually run a Scrapy script
