I created a new windows server + sql server in aws lightsail. I cant seem to connect remotely via ip address. I almost do everything but to no avail.

I tried the ff:

* allow remote connection & windows/sql auth via connection properties
* allow all tcp/udp ports (for testing)
* enable tcp/ip sql config
* add static ip address in tcp/ip sql config
* disable firewall

Any help is very much appreciated.
