How to enable port 5000 on aws server?

Question

I checked all the questions that are related to allowing port on AWS EC2 and I have tried the following:

sudo ufw allow 5000

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5000 -j ACCEPT

Also added the port to AWS SG as shown below

Outbound Configs

Inbound Configs

Still when I open my website it says:

This site can’t be reached

Am I missing anything? Are above rules are correct and secure?

This are my ports, I could serve a nodejs app trougth port 5000 with this configurations[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4eTyZ.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4eTyZ.png) — Jhefferson Mancera Silva, Apr 24 '20 at 15:10

The Inbound SG configs needs to be modified. As the image you have posted does not show that you allow 5000 in your AWS SG. So in this case you wont be able to access that port from outside unless you allow it in your security group that i assume it is attached already to your EC2 instance

AWS SecurityGroup > Inboud Rules > Add Custom TCP Port with value `5000` and the IP that you need to allow – Mostafa Hussein Jan 30 '19 at 13:22

From a security point of view you need to allow certain IPs only incase your application is not public yet. So maybe you can use the same IPs which you already use with SSH if you already using these IPs or maybe use a VPN with a specific IP – Mostafa Hussein Jan 30 '19 at 13:38
