🌐Whitelist an IP Address in Your EC2 Security Group

To provide access of your ui to a specific IP address, follow the steps below to update your EC2 security group settings:

Step 1: Locate Your EC2 Instance

  • Log in to the AWS Management Console.

  • In the search bar at the top, type EC2 and select it from the list of services.

  • In the EC2 Dashboard, click "Instances (running)" in the left-hand menu.

  • Find and select your EC2 instance by checking the box next to it.

Step 2: Access the Security Group

  • Once you select your instance, the Details panel will appear at the bottom of the page.

  • Navigate to the Security tab.

  • Under Security Details, click the linked name of the Security Group (shown in blue).

Step 3: Add the IP Address

  • In the Security Group details page, in the "Inbound rules" tab, click the "Edit inbound rules" button.

  • Click "Add Rule" and add the following rules in order to provide/gain access to your ui -

Type
Port
IP

xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32

Custom TCP

Step 4: Remove the Old/Unwanted IP Address

In the same Inbound rules section, identify the IP address you want to remove.

  • Click the Delete icon next to that entry.

  • Review the remaining rules to ensure only the correct IP addresses are listed.

  • Click "Save rules" to apply the changes.

The removed IP address will no longer have access, and only specified IP address is now whitelisted and will be able to access your ui.
