I'm just curious, was the ip in the RFC 1918 172.16.0.0/16 range?

To close the loop here (in case if someone has this type of issue in the future), I have spoken to AT&T instead of trying to work it out with AWS Hosted Vendor, Reolink.

AT&T Changed my public IP, and now I am no longer in that 172.x.x.x block, everything is working fine.

Auto generated VPC in AWS use RFC1819 addresses. This should not interfere with pub up space.

What is the exact issue? If you can't ping something in AWS chances are it's a security group blocking you.

I don't know their entire operations, but they do use some 172.16.0.0/12
addresses internally. And yes, that is very different than 172/12, sorry
for the confusion.
