Requesting an Elastic IP

This step is required so the Endpoint Protector Clients can communicate with the same IP Address in case of an instance restart. Without an Elastic IP (Static IP) the instance will assign a new IP address every time it is restarted and the Endpoint Protector Clients have to be reinstalled.

To request an Elastic IP, go in the AWS Management Console to the option Network & Security, Elastic IPs, and click Allocate New Address.

Allocate Elastic IP Address

Step 1 – Associate the Elastic IP with your Endpoint Protector Instance.

Associating the Elastic IP with your Instance.

Step 2 – Select the Endpoint Protector Instance from the dropdown list, the Private IP address, and then click Associate;

Associating Elastic IP Address

The Elastic IP is now associated with your Endpoint Protector Instance. After a few minutes, the Endpoint Protector Instance will be running associated with the Elastic IP.

NOTE: We recommend further securing your Instance by making all possible settings in the AWS Interface under the option Security Groups.
