[Login Timeout] AWS SQL Server Web times out at connection

[HadiSDev]

I have tried to connect to my AWS RDS instance that runs SQLServer.

import pyodbc

SERVER = "http://XXXX.eu-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com/"
DATABASE = "MY Database Name"
USERNAME = "MY Username"
PASSWORD = "My Password"

CONNECTION_STRING  = f'DRIVER={{ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server}};SERVER={SERVER};DATABASE={DATABASE};UID={USERNAME};PWD={PASSWORD}'

pyodbc.connect(CONNECTION_STRING)

However, I keep getting pyodbc.OperationalError: ('HYT00', '[HYT00] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')

I am running Ubuntu 24 and python 3.12

I have tried replacing the host with an IP address but I get the same error. Connecting outside python on ubuntu wsl works with the same credentials.
