Accessing OpenSearch Dashboard from Work PC

OpenSearch

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):

latest

Describe the issue:

I have created an OpenSearch domain inside my VPC, adhering to our company’s policy of not using public IPs. I have set up an EC2 instance, and from within this instance, I was able to confirm that my OpenSearch service is up and running. Now, I need to access the OpenSearch dashboard from my work PC. The only way we can connect to our EC2 instances is through a bastion host. Can you guide me on how to access the OpenSearch dashboard from my work PC and share it with my coworkers?
I did some searching, and all I can find is creating an SSH tunnel and port forwarding from my PC. This method would need to be repeated for everyone who needs access to the dashboard.

Any other recommendations?

@shahf I think this is related to your AWS networking instead of OpenSearch Dashboards itself. I think public IP is the only way to connect with EC2s in VPC from a remote destination.
Maybe some kind of VPN service to the VPC.

I think you should contact AWS support in this matter.

Hi Pablo
Thanks for responding
I resolved this issue by bypassing the firewall (internal IT )
