Jenkins up and running but can't access through browser on port 8080 AWS ubuntu

I have successfully installed Jenkins on AWS server ubuntu V18.04, the service is up and running on the server successfully

jenkins.service - LSB: Start Jenkins at boot time
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/jenkins; generated)
   Active: active (exited) since Mon 2020-01-20 05:26:40 UTC; 8min ago

Jan 20 05:26:40 ip-3.106.165.24 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Start Jenkins at boot time.

My security groups are setup port 22 for SSH and port 8080 for jenkins and 80 for http

When I attempt to access jenkins through the web browser I get "This site can't be reached" error

Not sure what else I can try, as I have tried every solution under the sun but still the problem persists.

I can SSH into the server and I can access port 80 as I setup nginx on the server successfully.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards Danny

Not sure why port 8080 is not working. I had to change the port to 8081 in the jenkins config file in following location as there are multiple jenkins config file

/etc/default/jenkins

Also changed the security group settings in AWS to match

Works fine now

Further to this is that my ISP is blocking port 8080. I hotspotted my phone and port 8080 was accessible.
