I have a virtual machine on azure. On the VM with Windows Server 2012 I have a web-site which is published via IIS7. I wrote bindings for the web-site, changed a port to 8080 and now able to access it with it's ip: 10.0.0.4:8080. Now I want to have an access to this web-site via internet. My VM has static ip, for instance 1.2.3.4. I added a rule on my virtual machine for 8080 for windows firewall, to allow all connections for this port. I suppose now I need to edit binding on the azure manager, I read a lot of articles (e.g. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-set-up-endpoints/) but I don't have 'Endpoints' menu. The only one I have is: inbound rules and outbound rules, so I've tried to do port-forwarding there (screenshot: http://take.ms/MgLWq). But it doesn't work, I still don't have access from the outside.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Your link is about endpoints which is only available in the old portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com). From your screenshot I see that you use the new portal (https://portal.azure.com).
What you have to do is the following:
1. In the new portal go to your VM and click on "All settings"
2. Select "Network interfaces" and select the network interface with the public IP address. (Probably there is only one.)
3. Select the "Network security group" and click on "All settings"
4. Select "Inbound security rules"
5. Click "Add" and create a new inbound rule with the following settings:
Name: any name, e.g. "Web"
Priority: any number lower 65500
Source: any or Internet
Protocol: any or TCP
Source port range: * (important difference to your configuration)
Destination: Any
Destination port range: 8080 (IIS' configured port)
Action: Allow
Save it, wait a minute, and that's it.
And here are some screenshots for clarification

I've setup a VM and installed IIS. I checked that the firewall rules were enabled for HTTP and HTTPS. Furthermore, in Azure Portal, I've enabled the two predefined inbound security network group rules for HTTP and HTTPS.
When in the VM, I can go to localhost and see the default Web page of IIS Default Web Site.
Inbound security rule in Network Security Group
Anybody know how to go about figuring out how to make this work?
Thx
You should add port 443 and port 80 to azure VM windows firewall inbound rules.
Are the Source port ranges on your inbound rules set to 80/443 or * (i.e. all source ports)?
Try changing them to * with only the destination ports set to 80 or 443 respectively.
Ex:
Refer How to open ports to a virtual machine with the Azure portal for more details.
There are two ways to make your site accessible from the Internet.
Use the public IP address which is associated to the virtual machine's NIC.
Configure DNS for your VM machine (e.g. web.southeastasia.cloudapp.azure.com). This DNS is bounded to the associated public IP Address.
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/portal-create-fqdn
In your IIS, just configure binding to make sure the incoming request from the Internet is recognized by IIS.
You also need to make sure you have no rule in Network Security Group (NSG) blocking port 80. Or if there is a NSG, you need to create an inbound rule to allow port 80.
I Azure Windows VM, apart from configuring the NSG rule, we should also create a Windows firewall rule to allow inbound TCP connections on the required port. Just RDP into your windows VM, open Windows Defender Firewall and add the rule
I have a Virtual Machine created in the new azure portal (portal.azure.com)
Now I can connect to by using the Remote Desktop by the port 3389, without any problems.
I am asking for a guide to setting my virtual machine can be remoted over the port 443 also (since the working network just allows outcoming 443 only)
With the classic portal, I just need to add an "end point" and that works.
However with the new portal, in the "network security group", I tried to modify the "inbound security rules", changed the default value 3389 to 443, but I got no luck.
Edited: captured screenshots
New VM created as "Azure Resource Manager" (ARM) have different options and features but they lost end-points. Endpoints, in classic deployment, allowed to remap internal ports to external ports, changing the value.
Now, in ARM, to have a similar behaviour, you have to use LoadBalancer. Read at the end of https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mast/2016/02/04/azure-networking-public-ip-addresses-in-classic-vs-arm/ for an example to map external 50000 to internal 80.
As I understand them, Network Security Groups don't actually do any port mapping, just allow/deny access to certain ports. If you want the RDP server to still listen on 3389 and for external RDP requests to go to 443, you'll need to use Azure Load Balancer with NAT rules (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-get-started-internet-arm-ps/#create-lb-rules-nat-rules-a-probe-and-a-load-balancer). Alternatively, you could configure your RDP server to listen on port 443. It's up to you which you prefer :).
I've been running the free trial and am trying to point of my name cheap domain to the vm web site I have created.
I covered the server Ip.
Here are my namecheap settings for the domain.
The covered Ip is the same as above..
Here are my IIS settings
Change the Hostname to my actual domain.
I've also disabled Windows firewall and added port 80 and 443 in the security app hooked to the Azure VM. I can't seem to connect to the website at all. Am I missing something? I've been troubleshooting for hours and cant find anything except basic tutorials and how to do it on the Classic Azure portal.
thank you.
If you are using V1 (old portal/classic) Azure VM resources, then you need to open up the endpoint on the cloud services. All VMs exist as part of a Cloud Service.
From the new portal,
Select the VM (Classic)
Settings
Endpoints
Add the required port (make sure public port is the one you want to use, say 80, and the internal port is the one IIS is listening for)
If you are using V2 resources, you need to add a public IP to your VM before it can be reached from the outside world.
From the new portal
Click on the VM
Open settings
Select Network Interfaces
Select IP Address
Enable public IP (and add a PIP)
Keep in mind that in Azure, all IPs are dynamic. You will want to configure DNS settings against the DNS names provided, and not the IP address (as this will change if you power off the machine). For V1, use the cloud service name. For V2, you are given the option when creating the PIP to have azure assign a DNS name.
For testing, try to telnet on port 80 to the correct DNS name.
I have created a CentOS 7.1 VM using Resource Manager deployment model.
I am not able to access the application using a browser on a machine connected to internet.
However I am able to access the application on same machine and other VM on same virtual network using private IP address.
I configured Network Security Group and allowed port 80 and 443 in Inbound Rules.
Well, it turned out that I needed to open ports under "Inbound Security Rules" and needed to open all in "Source Port Range". For doing so, i needed to put * there and in Destination port for https - 443 etc.
This * thing was the catch which i was missing in all the Inbound security rules for allowing the ports.
I have created an ssrs report inside an Azure Virtual Machine (SQL Server 2012 SP1 on Windows Server 2012). When I try to view the report from the Virtual machine it opens up in the browser with a proper url like
http://mysamplevm/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fMySampleReport&rs:Command=Render
When I try to open the same url from my local machine, it says webpage is not available. I have completed the following settings too.
Created Inbound & Outbound rules in Virtual Machine Firewall for port numbers 80 and 443.
Created end points for the same port numbers in azure management portal.
You shall access the report server via the public DNS Name - this is sort of http://mysamplevm.cloudapp.net/ReportServer/Page, and not http://mysamplevm/. You can get this when you navigate to the dashboard of your VM in the management portal - right hand links are named Quick glance, the second is DNS Name.
Because your computer has no idea how to find mysamplevm.
While astaykov is correct regarding the URL, there are two more steps you need to go through to make your report server accessible from outside your VM:
Open HTTP/HTTPS endpoint for your VM in Azure management portal
Open a firewall port:
Open Windows PowerShell on your Virtual Machine
Run the following (for port 80):
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName “Report Server (TCP on port 443)” -Direction Inbound –Protocol TCP –LocalPort 80
Now you can access your report server from remote computers through:
http://yourservername.cloudapp.net/reportserver
You have to log into the VM and open windows firewall advanced settings. In Inbound settings, allow port 80 to accept connections.
In addition to what DivineOps has mentioned. In Azure portal (new version), you have to go into NSG to configure firewall rules.
For me, I had to configure inbound rules, both on VM (via RDP) and via Azure portal for it to be accessible.
