Hi, I just started an amazon ec2 instance and I wanna host a game server on it.It requires the port 7777 to be open,I don't know how should I do that,Please help!
 
Solution
For what I know, Amazon instances are virtual machines with real IP addresses, so if you have a port blocked, you should talk to Amazon to configure upper-stage routers to pass it thru.

In the navigation pane of the Amazon EC2 console, choose Instances. Select your instance and look at the Description tab; Security groups lists the security groups that are associated with the instance. Choose view rules to display a list of the rules that are in effect for the instance.

In the navigation pane, choose Security Groups. Select one of the security groups associated with your instance.

In the details pane, on the Inbound tab, choose Edit. In the dialog, choose Add Rule, and then choose Custom from the Type list.

In the Source field enter the CIDR value 0.0.0.0/0 to allow all traffic

Enter the port number

Choose Save.
