I've launched aws linux ec2 instance and I'm running node server over it. I'm requesting resource from server as follow
const data = await request
( 'https://www.example.com/data'
) ;
Is it possible to hide ip of my aws ec2 instance from example.com?
Please help me..!
If you want to connect to a host they must always have a source IP address from which the traffic originated from within the packet headers so it is not possible to hide a return IP address from the destination.
If your instance has a public IP address in a subnet with an internet gateway, then outbound traffic will be using the public IPv4 address of the instance.
If the instance can be made private then assuming it is communicating to a destination that is on the public internet it will use either a NAT Gateway or NAT instance for outbound communication. The destination will see the source here as the EIP of the NAT when it connects (not the instance).
Other approaches that could be taken are:
0.0.0.0/0
(and ::/0
if IPv6) to another EC2 host or to an on-premise resource via VPN or Direct Connect. This would require the connecting appliance to support forwarding internet traffic.It would be helpful to expand a bit on what you mean with

If the IP address of the EC2 instance is mapped to a DNS name, then no. As soon as all the needed system services are up and running (considering any Linux type EC2 instance), the IP address will be mapped to the DNS name you defined. In this case, it would be example.com
or any other DNS name that was defined for that particular IP address. This record type is called an A record (IPv4) or AAAA record (if you are using IPv6). You can read more about record types here .
