Hello,
I have a Linux VM (with a private IP and a public IP) and I would like to be able to access it from the outside.
This VM as a software installed and it and it needs to be administrated via a web page on a specific port.
Any idea of how I can do that?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
You will need to open up NSG with inbound rules stating that source (Internet) to Destination (your VM) on Destination port traffic is allowed.
With that NSG rule, Internet traffic to your VM on the specified port will be allowed.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi,
Many thanks for your answer.
Anyway, it looks like I was not 100% clear following your answer. Sorry about that.
Indeed a line has been added into the inbound rules of the NSG.
The thing is that I would like to be able to reach this public IP (defined on my VM located on Azure) on a specific port from anywhere.
See the screenshot of the current inbound rules in place nsg.png.
Thanks for your help.
The destination IP needs to be your VM's private IP not the public IP. Can you try that?
Hi,
Oh okay.
It definitely looks better like that.
Awesome!
Is the reason is because the public IP address is "handled" by the network interface associated to the private IP address?
In Azure, platform takes care of the Public IP to Private IP translation and the NSG gets applied on the private IPs not on the public IP
Oh okay understood now.
It's now clear.
Great thanks for the information.
Have a great day.
