Custom Port not working for node.js app on AWS EC2 instance

I have deployed the following code on my AWS EC2 instance -

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.get('/test',(req,res) => {res.send('Hi')})

app.listen(3001, () => console.log('Server running on port 80'))

When I try to visit the following url - http://ec2-13-59-209-0.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/test , I get connection refused message. The message on the UI is ec2-13-59-209-0.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com refused to connect.

I did go through the documentation and set up security group to listen on port 3001. But that did not help either.So I enabled on traffic for all the ports. Still I was not able to connect. Please find below snapshot of the security group. It would be great if you can help me with this.

You need to tell Express to listen to all traffic, not just localhost traffic. Change your app.listen line to:

app.listen(3001, "0.0.0.0");
