Fresh Webmin install on Ubuntu 20.04 on Amazon Lightsail

  • I added the line to iptables as per their instructions: 
    sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT
  • I have added port 10000/tcp to ufw also.
  • When I go to the browser https://myip:10000 the browser stays loading for a while then says: 
    cant open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding

What am I missing?

Edit:

When I run sudo service webmin status I get this:

● webmin.service - LSB: web-based administration interface for Unix systems

@OKOK Are you on LightSail?

For me it was the Amazon firewall. I had to allow port 10000 through LightSail console under Network. Even though I had allowed it on ufw through terminal Amazon was applying its own firewall.
