Temporary deny outbound traffic in AWS

I'm trying to perform a simulation to see how the system would react when it's disconnected and reconnected back. If it's done locally I could easily disable my WIFI and enable it back. If I had done the same in AWS I'd get kicked out from my RDP / SSH session and it wouldn't be possible for me to reconnect back to the session to enable the network back.

Any other suggestion to achieve this?

Use an AWS lambda to enable and disable a security group which denies outbound traffic. You could just add a time.sleep(60) to wait a a minute between actions.

Modify the outbound rules on the security group associated to your instance. You can do this from either the console or the cli, with:

aws ec2 update-security-group-rule-descriptions-egress --group-id id --ip-permissions permissions

See the doc for examples.
