I launched an EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 server. It is contained in a VPC which is connected to a private VPN. To SSH into the server, you have to connect to that VPN which is also on AWS before having access to the server. After setting everything up and started configuring the server I discovered that sudo apt-get update did not install any update and I got the error below:
ubuntu@private-ip:~$ sudo apt-get update Err:1 http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Could not connect to eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (IP), connection timed out [IP] Err:2 http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Unable to connect to eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP] Err:3 http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease Unable to connect to eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP] Err:4 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Cannot initiate the connection to security.ubuntu.com:80 (). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP] Reading package lists...

I tried to install apache too but got a similar error. Please what could be wrong?
