How to connect AWS Elasticache Redis from a local machine for a Django project?

I’ve Redis chace installed on both my local and aws elasticache. My Django project runs well on my local machine with Redis. However, when I connect to my redis remotely on aws, I get the following error.

Error 10060 connecting to xyz.0001.use2.cache.amazonaws.com:6379. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

I have the following Django settings for the local redis:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}

And this the Django settings for the remote redis instance:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://xyz.0001.use2.cache.amazonaws.com:6379',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}

Again, when I switch from local to remote caches settings, I get that error above.

I know that I it is not possible to connect ElastiCache outside AWS unless you have a vpn connection. So, I’ve set up the vpn client end point on aws and connected to it using the aws vpn client. I can successfully connect via vpn as shown below.

Also, if I run the following command under C:Program FilesRedis on my command prompt window

redis-cli -h magicstat-redis.ysw0xy.0001.use2.cache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 ping

I get this error.

Any idea why I still can’t connect from my local machine to the remote redis on aws elasticache even though I can connect via vpn?
