For those looking to connect from local desktop to RDS private you may find creating a replica on a public subnet on a public security group that may solve the issue.

If both RDS instance & EC2 instance in private subnets how we will connect

[@maryjones1309]

thank you for this but as I made my RDS db instance the site went down and now i am not sure why

[@NJerseyBoy]

This video was a life saver, I was going nuts trying to figure out to add the inbound All TCP rule. Why isn't it default?

[@hadesunseen6388]

yeah when we enable Public Visibility to Yes, they can show an info message related to inbound All TCP atleast
