I have below things:
3 VM inside 3 subnet all are in Vnet1.
VM1 has enable IIS and it's private access through subnet B.
Is there any ways to allow traffic from VM2 to VM1? I have tried multiple time but didn't worked.
I have followed below MS Docs, but it allows only internally(private) in network, it's not working for internet.

I've custom template of this scenarios, You have just apply it and all configuration will be created.
you can access from below link:

I'm new Here , Please help me out from this issue.
Update :
VM1 has assign public IP and I need all traffic from public IP of vm1 from VM2.
Please check below image for more info.
• I would suggest you to please attach one more NIC (Network Interface Card) to the VM1 in subnet A and enable IP forwarding in that NIC along with enabling the same setting in VM2 in subnet B. Since, VM2 is exposed to the internet and has a public IP address but VM1 doesn’t, thus when you configure the NSG (Network Security Group) of both the NICs, ensure that you are creating inbound as well as outbound rules for ensuring traffic flow smoothly over port 80 and 443 through both the NICs. This will ensure that internet traffic over the designated ports is only forwarded from the VM2 to the VM1 and vice versa.
• Also, if you want to, you can attach the additional NIC to VM1 and associate it in some other subnet, i.e., subnet C or any other subnet. This will ensure that the subnet level NSG in effect can be configured for the related subnets only, i.e., subnet in which the additional NIC for VM1 is added and the subnet for VM2. For more information, kindly refer to the below documentation links on attaching additional NICs to the VMs: -

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-network-network-interface-vm#view-network-interfaces-for-a-vm
Snapshots for reference: -
Update : - Yes, you can surely browse the IIS page by accessing the public IP address of the VM1 in local system through chrome browser. But you will need to open the ports 80 and 443 for inbound traffic access on the VM1's NSG. Also, if you want the VM1 to have a publicly accessible DNS name/label, then you will have to configure the desired DNS name in the VM1 settings. To do the above said configurations, kindly refer to the link below: - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/expression/en-US/98da3ab5-3909-4048-b935-95d5f7667ab5/accessing-azure-virtual-machine-iis-website-publicly?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows#:~:text=1-%20Click%20on%20the%20VM,Click%20on%20Save.

Scenario
In Azure, I have the following configuration:
1 VNET (address space) - 10.10.0.0/24
Subnet 1 - 10.10.0.0/28
Subnet 2 - 10.10.0.16/28
VM 1 (in subnet 1) - has IP# of 10.10.0.1
VM 2 (in subnet 2) - has IP# of 10.10.0.17
Problem
I need to create a UDR (a custom route) that allows VM1 to receive all packets from VM2.
What would that route be?
I cannot seem to find any links on the internet explaining this scenario.
I have tested in my environment.
By default, the VM1 in subnet1 is allowed to receive all data packets from VM2 in subnet2 if both subnet1 and subnet2 are in the same Virtual Network. We do not need to create any custom route (User Defined Route) for this
For this to work, the firewall for the private networks needs to be turned off inside both the VMs. Then both the VMs will be able to receive data packets from each other
I created VM1 (10.0.0.4) in subnet1 (10.0.0.0/24) and VM2 (10.0.1.4) in subnet2 (10.0.1.0/24)
I turned the firewall off for private networks in both the VMs VM1 and VM2
I can receive data packets from each other
I pinged VM2 private IP address from VM1 and able to receive the data packets from VM2
I have a list IP address that I want to allow access to multi VMs.
First, I attach to 1st VM a NSG A which allows my whitelist IPs on port 22.
Second, I attach to 2nd VM a NSG B which allows my whitelist IPs on port 8888.
In case I have to update whitelist IP, I need to update both 2 NSG A and NSG B.
Are there any way allow me to update only 1 NSG, then other NSG apply it automatically?
in AWS, I can do it by using a SG as Source of other SG. But Azure may have different strategy.
You can attach both VMs to one NSG.
Also, you can attach NSG to network level (if both VMs in one network).
I think you will find the answer here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/network-overview
I have a public facing, standard sku, Azure Load Balancer that forwards the incoming requests for a certain port to a virtual machine, using load balancing rules. This virtual machine has a NSG defined at the subnet level, that allows incoming traffic for that port, with source set to as 'Internet'.
Presently, this setup works, but I need to implement whitelisting - to allow only a certain set of IP addresses to be able to connect to this virtual machine, through the load balancer. However, if I remove the 'Internet' source type in my NSG rule, the VM is no longer accessible through the Load Balancer.
Has anyone else faced a similar use case and what is the best way to setup IP whitelisting on VMs that are accessible through Load Balancer. Thanks!
Edit: to provide more details
Screenshot of NSGs
These are the top level NSGs defined at the subnet.
We have a public load balancer that fronts the virtual machine where above NSGs are applied. This virtual machine doesn’t have a specific public IP and relies on the Load Balancer’s public IP.
The public Load Balancer forwards all traffic on port 8443 and port 8543 to this virtual machine, without session persistence and with Outbound and inbound using the same IP.
Below are the observations I have made so far:
Unless I specify the source for NSG rule Port_8443 (in above table) as ‘Internet’, this virtual machine is not accessible on this port, via the load balancer’s public IP.
When I retain the NSG rule Port_8543, which whitelists only specific IP addresses, this virtual machine is not accessible on this port, via the load balancer’s public IP – even when one of those whitelisted clients try to connect to this port.
I tried adding the NSG rule Custom_AllowAzureLoadBalancerInBound, to a higher priority than the port_8543, but it still didn’t open up this access.
I also tried to add the Azure Load balancer VIP (168.63.129.16) to the Port_8543 NSG, but that too didn’t open-up the access to port 8543, on load balancer’s public IP.
I have played with Load Balancing rules options too, but nothing seems to achieve what I am looking for – which is:
Goal 1: to open-up the virtual machine’s access on port 8443 and port 8543 to only the whitelisted client IPs, AND
Goal 2: allow whitelisted client IPs to be able to connect to these ports on this virtual machine, using the load balancer’s public IP
I am only able to achieve one of the above goals, but not both of them.
I have also tried the same whitelisting with a dedicated public IP assigned to the virtual machine; and that too loses connectivity to ports, where I don't assign 'Internet' source tag.
Azure has default rules in each network security group. It allows inbound traffic from the Azure Load Balancer resources.
If you want to restrict the clients to access your clients, you just need to add a new inbound port rule with the public IP address of your clients as the Source and specify the Destination port ranges and Protocol in your specific inbound rules. You could check the client's public IPv4 here via open that URL on your client's machine.
Just wanted to add a note for anyone else stumbling here:
If you are looking to whitelist an Azure VM (available publicly or privately) for few specific client IPs, below are the steps you must perform:
Create a NSG for the VM (or subnet) - if one not already available
Add NSG rules to Allow inbound traffic from specific client IPs on specific ports
Add a NSG rule to Deny inbound traffic from all other sources [This is really optional but will help in ensuring security of your setup]
Also, please note that look at all public IPs that your client machines are planning to connect with. Especially while testing, use public IPs and not the VPN gateway address ranges - which is what we used and ended up getting a false negative of our whitelisting test.
I have setup a few VM's and a load balancer so that we can have one outgoing IP. Right now i am having issues to connect to the internet from inside my VM. If i open internet explorer and try to access a website, it shows waiting for reply and then "This page can’t be displayed".
Each VM is connected to the same subnet.
The subnet has a NSG attached to it and each VM is part of the subnet.
NSG attached to the subnet.
There is then a load balancer to allow incoming RDP but with different ports to the different VM's.
I think i am missing the SNAT but i have no idea where to configure that. From what i have read, i am using level 2 "Public Load Balancer associated with a VM (no Instance Level Public IP address on the instance)". Multiple VM's on a subnet and one load balancer to share one IP address.
Where do i actually go to set up the SNAT? Or is there another issue i am missing here?
Probably, you could add the load balancing rules for TCP port 80 or 443 instead of inbound NAT rules. NAT rules always use for port forwarding. Moreover, you do not need add NAT rules for DNS. This works on my side.
A load balancer rule defines how traffic is distributed to the VMs. The rule defines the front-end IP configuration for incoming traffic, the back-end IP pool to receive the traffic, and the required source and destination ports.
I've got a networking question for one of my customers servers in the cloud.
We are using just a standard 2012R2 VM with a few endpoints set up through the NSG Firewall, and we have a LoadBalancer infront of the network with a few ports forwarded to the same VPC.
The reason we are using a load balancer with port forwarding is because I'm finding countless records of bots trying to hit 3389 and 21 with attempts to break in.
So I have tried to change the source setting in the NSG rule to AzureLoadBalancer with the hope that it will only allow access to traffic that has come via the LoadBalancer on the external ports.
But for some reason this is not the case?
Is there a proper procedure for restricting traffic to a VM via the NSG from a LoadBalancer?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The NSG can’t be associated with Load balancer, NSGs can be associated with either subnets or individual VM instances within that subnet, so we can’t use NSG to block inbound IP address from the internet.
To protect the VM (with a public IP), we can deploy Linux VM, use IP tables work as a firewall. Also you can search some third party firewall product in Azure Marketplace.
Update:
To protect your VM, you can use NSG to allow the source IP address range to access your VM. NSG->Add inbound security rule->advanced->source IP address range.
Looking a the LB troubleshooting doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-troubleshoot
You have:
-Also, check if a Deny All network security groups rule on the NIC of the VM or the subnet that has a higher priority than the default rule that allows LB probes & traffic (network security groups must allow Load Balancer IP of 168.63.129.16).
If you create your NSG rule and only allow from 168.63.129.16 you should be set. The Azure load balancer will always come from that address no matter what your frontend IP is.
