Cannot access services exposed on internal load balancer with nginx ingress

Question

I have an EKS cluster with only private subnets, So i tried to expose a service on internal load balancer by adding this annotation to the nginx ingress controller service:

service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"

the porblem is that i cannot access the hostname (kibana.com) defined in the ingress resource (with vpn)

here is my code :

nginx ingress controller :

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: nginx-ingress 
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: nginx-ingress 
  namespace: nginx-ingress

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service

  namespace: nginx-ingress
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: "tcp"
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"

and that's the ingress resource :

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: micro-ingress
  namespace: default
spec:
  rules:
    - host: kibana.com
      http:
        paths:
          - backend:
              serviceName: kibana
              servicePort: 5601

have you add private hosted zone for "kibana.com" at the aws 53 route? — Fauzan
yes . you need to create private hosted zone "kibana.com" and add cname record "kibana.com" and fill the value with the aws nlb — Fauzan
i have already created one but when i access it it shows me : This domain has been suspended due to non-completion of an ICANN-mandated contact verification. — touati ahmed
then you need to use custom domain that havent use by a company — Fauzan

Not sure if this is relevant, can't see your service definition

try using internal Loadbalancers like below, instead of boolean value, give ip address notation

service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: 0.0.0.0/0

Cannot access services exposed on internal load balancer with nginx ingress
