Re: Can MC connect to a remote computer running IB TWS?
I have IB TWS running in the cloud on AWS on Windows Server 2012
I can't seem to connect MC on a local computer to my TWS running on AWS. I have allowed the port within TWS, and I am trying to connect MC to the remote server. However, I am getting the error
Interactive Brokers; Unable to connect to TWS or unable to verify the connection.; Make sure that the TWS software is running.; Make sure that your firewall is not blocking communication between MultiCharts and TWS and that it's not blocking access to mcauth.com.; Server:xx.xxx.xxx.xx; Port:7496
Do I need to change the windows firewall setting on the AWS?

It should be possible only if they are in the same local network. Are they?

Is this a limitation of MC, or a limitation of TWS?

I discussed it with our engineers and by the moment we haven't tested it outside local network. If the issue still persists, please come to our live chat during working hours (6:30 am – 2:45 pm EST) to let our operators connect to your computer remotely and help you.
