# Security Group Not Open

{% hint style="info" %}
The security group of the local API might not be open to your address. 

You can look for the security group created by the CloudFormation stack and open ports **80** and **443** to your IP address.
{% endhint %}

## Configure inbound rules:

1\. Navigate to the **EC2 Service** in the **AWS Console**.

2\. Click **Security Groups** (under **Network & Security**) in the navigation pane.

3\. Type **Upsolver VPC Security Group** in the Search bar and click **Enter**.\
The security group created by Upsolver is displayed in the list below the search bar.

4\. Right-click the security group and select **Edit Inbound Rules**.

5\. Add two rules and configure them as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="130">Type</th><th width="108">Protocol</th><th width="119">Port Range</th><th width="98">Source</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>HTTP</td><td>TCP</td><td>80</td><td>My IP</td><td>HTTP For (e.g., San Francisco Offices)</td></tr><tr><td>HTTPS</td><td>TCP</td><td>443</td><td>My IP</td><td>HTTPS For (e.g., San Francisco Offices)</td></tr></tbody></table>

6\. Click **Save**. It may take up to a minute for the local API to be reachable by your network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/support-1/troubleshooting/aws-configuration/private-api-doesnt-start-or-cant-connect/security-group-not-open.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
