I am new to Azure and I allready have a problem, I am trying to deploy nginx on azure but nothing works !
I created my vm, opened port 22 to connect via ssh and port 80 for the nginx server.
Then I downloaded nginx with apt, I checked it was running but I can never get to the default home page. I tried using the public ip adress and the dns name.
Here is the network config
Any help would be welcomed.
I found the answer, for those of you that have their firewalls down like me, AND have load balancers direct the traffic to their VM, edit the inbound NAT rules of the load balancers, by adding ports and VM you want your traffic redirecting to, it worked for me.

I am having an issue and not able to resolve it.
I have XAMPP instaled on Azure Virtual Machine. I created a virtual host, instead of the localhost/application I am running an app as application.local in the browser. It works fine and it opens a web app.
Now, I am trying to access it over Azure VM public IP address and it doesn't work, any suggestion on what I can do to make it work?
I tried disabling the firewall and it has no luck.
It seems your application works fine inside the VM, but you can't access the application through the VM public IP address outside. Then you need to check if there is an NSG rule that allows the traffic to the port listening by the application. If no, you need to create one rule for the port.
So I'm using an Azure VM that has a public IP address, and I've opened an inbound port, let's say it's 5555.
What I'm trying to do now is to run an application on the VM that has an API via localhost, also with the port 5555. I'm calling it then with public_ip:5555/api/...
Since I was not able to connect to the application from outside, is there something missing here? Most tutorials and resources I've found just mentioned opening the port.
Thanks.
Take a look at Azure's IP Flow Verify utility, which will check your NSG rules to ensure traffic can reach your VM. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/network-watcher-ip-flow-verify-overview
If traffic is reaching your VM, check your host firewall and then your application server logs.
I'm banging my head on this seemingly simple task. I'm trying to stand up a Redhat VM in Azure. I've tried both the resource group approach and the classic approach.
I currently have a classic deployment. I've installed httpd via yum. I confirm that I can SSH to the server via the virtual IP. Once in, I start httpd and I can perform wget http://localhost/ and get the content that I expect.
However, when I attempt to connect to the virtual IP from my local browser, there is no response. I've also tried creating a static public IP with no success.
I have created an HTTP "endpoint" in Azure portal. I set the public and private ports to 80 with a protocol of TCP. There are no ACL values (I assume it's defaulting to allow everything).
There is no network security group assigned to the VM.
Still no success. What else am I missing!?
Well, if you really setup an endpoint on the portal to allow port 80, the only thing thats left is the firewall on the Linux VM itself, allow port 80 on the firewall and you are good to go
1) service httpd restart and 2) service firewalld restart did the trick
I have a problem with my windows azure virtual machine.
I need to open the Port 443 (HTTPS) on the VM.
In the Endpoint Config. of the virtual machine, I opened it and configure the ACL with the following parameters:
Permit
0.0.0.0/0
It's a Windows Server 2012 VM and I created the firewall rule for the public Connection.
A Port Check from ping.eu shows that the port 443 is closed.
The Location of the virtual machine is Western Europe.
I hope, you can help me.
Kind Regards

I also had this issue and it was very annoying! I thought at first I was not setting up the SSL bindings correctly or that it was a certificate issue, then moved on to firewall issues. In the end it was the Azure endpoint at fault.
I had added the 443 endpoint, disabled local firewall and got nothing nothing. I got suspicious when I added a new endpoint on 8080, bound to https and it worked fine.
I deleted the 443 endpoint, shut the Azure VM down from the webinterface after shutting down the client. Created a new 443 endpoint and restarted the VM (I had already tried restarting my win2012r2 vm). It worked.
It must be a glitch in the networking stack of azure endpoints. You are not going mad!!
Hope that helps!

Did you also configure the Endpoint Configuration through the web management portal to forward connections from the ext->int ports ?
Anything you change on the Win2k12 Virtual machine will just affect the VM itself. i.e. opening 443 in the firewall, or configuring routes etc...
But you also need to allow a connection forward from the cloudapp.net public IP address to the internal IP of the box. See the below screenshot.
Another gotcha. In addition to setting up the Endpoint configuration, you need to enable IP Forwarding. This is disabled by default.
IP Forwarding can be found in the IP Configuration settings of the network interface.
I've just set up a windows azure VM and installed IIS on it.
When I remote desktop onto the box I can see the default IIS website fine but I can't get this to serve on the web from the IP address of the box.
I've opened up port 80 on windows firewall and also added an endpoint for port 80.
I've tried to access it with the firewall completely turned off also but to no avail...
I cant work out if there is anything else I need to do to get this working?
Add endpoints for port 80 (http) and port 443 (https) to the VM in the Azure portal (tip: this can be automated with powershell or the Azure cli).
Remote desktop to the machine. Open the Windows firewall control panel and allow traffic to port 80 (http) and port 443 (https) or just turn it off ... the firewall is ON by default (tip: can also be scripted through the VM agent / powershell).
Go to the Azure portal and find the cloudapp.net subdomain for your VM (actually the cloud service) your VM is running under. Try accessing the site with that domain. If that doesn't work, try browsing to http://localhost on the server (remote desktop) to make sure IIS works and troubleshoot from there.
Modify the DNS records of your custom domain to use a CNAME to the .cloudapp.net domain. If you need A records make sure to use the public IP of the cloud service (just ping the .cloudapp.net domain to find it or look in the Azure portal).
You might want to look into Azure Websites or Azure Cloud Services (web roles). Those are a lot easier to manage and a lot cheaper. They still offer most of the functionality.
What fixed the issue for me was to go into the Azure Portal, browse to 'Network Security Groups', select the VM and then create an inbound rule to allow traffic to port 80.
Note: Also ensure that the inbound rule to port 80 is added and enabled on the actual VM.
Well, I deleted the existing VM and Cloud service and started again - all worked fine out of the box this time.
How annoying! The only thing I did notice was that before my cloud service had the same name as my VM - this time they had different names so that might have been what was causing the issue.

For the newer VMs and pre-configured setups (2015+), it's possible your setup is using an azure asset called "Public IP". If so, you can set a custom DNS name label in it, inside "Configuration". Note that this name will consider any type of region used when creating the VM (e.g. my-site.brazilsouth.cloudapp.azure.com).
It's good to remember that for testing purposes, it still suffices to use the value of the public IP that is randomly designated to you.
The VMs are actually accessed via a Cloud Service (well they are for me). Azure created a Cloud Service automatically to be the scaling engine/load balancer on the front of the VM. I have to connect to the web site via that cloud service, not the VM directly.
Its possible you were using the internal IP rather than the external IP.
The sites have to use the internal IP address in the bindings section of IIS. However, in your dns you will need to use the external IP. This is presumably since the 'internal IP' is just a virtual one that Azure uses to map traffic from the external network to the VM's inside azure.
You should find both the internal and external IP's are visible on the VM's desktop.
Switch off TLS 1.3 in the Registry Editor.
This is what worked for me as of writing this in Mar 2021.
