VM In Azure VMScaleSet ( VMSS) do not have Internet access

Abhijit Doshi 21

Hi,

We have Deployed VM in Azure VM scale-set, with internal Load balancer, we would like to have an internet access to the VM, is there any property that needs to be set to enable this.

the main issue is windows server is not getting licensed without the internet connection to the VM

Hi @Abhijit Doshi ,

To allow your VMs to have external internet access you need to configure your load balancer to allow outbound traffic accordingly. See here. Assuming your VMs are connected to the load-balancer you can access your VMs and they can access the internet through the shared Load Balancer IP.

Hi Winston,

Thanks for your reply, i looked into it, but there is no option to set outbound rules. after looking on more i noticed the below reason

my load balance has private IP only, due to which I can not set the outbound rules, on the front end I have application gateway which is public facing and users are connecting through it,

also exposing the LB with publicIP just to get windows license, is something strange, Ideally when the machine gets deployed it should assign a license by itself.
is it that i am doing something wrong in the design of deploying the systems
