Problem connecting botium to lex through git bash

Question

I am trying to connect botium to my lex bot through git bash. My botium.json looks something like this

{
  "botium": {
    "Capabilities": {
      "PROJECTNAME": "My Bot Test",
      "CONTAINERMODE": "lex",
      "LEX_REGION": "us-east-1",
      "LEX_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "mykeyID",
      "LEX_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "mysecretaccesskey",
      "LEX_PROJECT_NAME": "myBotName",
      "LEX_PROJECT_ALIAS": "myBotNameAlias"
    },
    "Sources": {},
    "Envs": {}
  }
}

I try to run the following command botium-cli nlpextract --config botium.json --convos /output --verbose

and it gives me this error

This doesn't seem like the right IP, but I don't know how to set the connection. When I run the commands, I am already logged in to my AWS CLI account through git bash, so, I assumed it should connect right away. But the connection always times out. Couldn't find any documentation the could help me in this as well.

This IP belongs to amazon. The host names where Lex client connects to are not subject to configuration, but they are calculated automatically (in your case, the endpoint https://runtime.lex.us-east-1.amazonaws.com is used - https//{service}.{region}.amazonaws.com).

It looks like the access is blocked somehow - local firewall, corporate firewall, proxy, whatever.
