Splunk forwarder in EC2 not reaching the indexer

I've installed splunk forwarder inside a Docker container and when I use a local VM I am able to see the events coming in the Indexer page.
However, when deploying the container on an EC2 instance, there are 0 events being generated.
Is there any special configuration needed for EC2 case?

One difference I spotted in the logs is that the non working install had this additional line in splunkd.log file.
I could not find any other errors/warnings compared to the working case.
I cannot attach the full log because I don't have enough points.
