Here is the output of minikube dashbaord

ubuntu@ip-172-31-5-166:~$ minikube dashboard
* Enabling dashboard ...
* Verifying dashboard health ...
* Launching proxy ...
* Verifying proxy health ...
* Opening http://127.0.0.1:45493/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/ in your default browser...
  - http://127.0.0.1:45493/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/

I have enabled port 45493 at Security Group Level and also on Linux VM. However,, when I'm trying to access the Kube dashboard, I don't have luck

wget http://13.211.44.210:45493/
--2020-04-16 05:50:52--  http://13.211.44.210:45493/
Connecting to 13.211.44.210:45493... failed: Connection refused.

However, when I do the below, it works and produces index.html file with status code 200

wget http://127.0.0.1:45493/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
--2020-04-16 05:52:55--  http://127.0.0.1:45493/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:45493... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Steps to reproduce at high level is as below:

  1. EC2 Ubuntu of size t2.large
  2. Install minikube, minikube start --driver=docker

  3. Perform deployment as like kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0-beta8/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

  4. kubectl get pods -n kubernetes-dashboard NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE dashboard-metrics-scraper-84bfdf55ff-xx8pl 1/1 Running 0 26m kubernetes-dashboard-bc446cc64-7nl68 1/1 Running 0 26m

5.kubectl get svc -n kubernetes-dashboard 

TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
dashboard-metrics-scraper   ClusterIP   10.102.85.110   <none>        8000/TCP   40m
kubernetes-dashboard        ClusterIP   10.99.75.241    <none>        80/TCP     40m

My question is why I'm unable to access the internet?

Missing some more information on your networking topology. but according to your description it looks like it's networking configuration issue. is your ec2 instance is on a private subnet? – Mickey Hovel
It is a simple EC2 on a default VPC, EC2 ha access to the internet. – learner
What security group you configured exactly? – Crou

This is by design, minikube is a development tool for local environments. You can deploy an ingress or loadbalancer service to expose the dashboard, if you really know what you are doing.
