How to add a HTTPS inbound rule to a security group on an Amazon AWS EC2 instance?

Question

I've created an AWS EC2 instance. What I'm trying to do is to add an inbound rule for the corresponding security group to the instance. The type of connection I wish the firewall to allow is HTTPS on port 443.

Every time I save it though, it changes to a Custom TCP Rule on port 443. Does anyone know why this happens and how may I allow a HTTPS connection to the instance?

Answer 1

That is the way to configure it. Try to make a telnet connection towards the Instance using port 443 and it should be working.
