What is the outcome that you are trying to reach?

I'd like to connect to a node RPC API using its internal IP address from my local machine and do it safely.

Describe the solution you would like

I'd like to use AWS Client VPN, like described in this blog post: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/run-a-serverless-arbitrum-full-node-on-aws/

Describe alternatives you have considered

The other way is to add my local machines' external IP address to security policy, but that might not be safe.

Are you able to access it with SSM?

if so, i made a script that uses aws ssm start-session --target "$INSTANCE_ID" on the EC2 instance that was created by a provided stack.

You can run it like ./cf2ssh.sh sui-single-node-testnet, the parameter should correspond to your CFn stack name. If you also find that useful, we can incorporate that script to a tooling section on the project.
