AWS - Upgrade to 7.4 from 7.3.1 "bricked" EC2 instance

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on regaining control of an EC2 Instance of a CHR? I have a Dude Server running and it's been amazing. I upgraded it to 7.4 from 7.3.1, but sadly, my instance won't boot now. Do I need to scrap the instance and start over, or is there any hope?...

The queues are essentially useless without the mangle as the queue is looking for packets with a certain mark to initiate it's job. So yes, I would completely agree, useless.

Something just isn’t right but I can’t put my finger on it. CPU usage never really goes above 30%.

I did try before but I don't think I had any NAT rules with it. uPNP is currently off..

How should I go about enabling uPNP? Like would ether1 be my 'outside' interface and wlan1 my internal?

Re: XBox Live - NAT Type Strict

Okay, so i've tried this now on my XBox and still have Strict NAT. Checking the NAT rules I still see no traffic on them. 0 bytes and 0 packets.

Am I missing something? With the previous rule set I had the same thing and only the rule for port 80 showed packets. But why not the rest?
