I AM TRYING TO OPEN PORT ON AZURE VM

Question

Dear Support, port 5124 was created but it's not in the list of open ports after running netstat -an | find /i "5124" the PORT is still not on the list.

I have allowed the port in inbound rules and also, and I have allowed the port through the Firewall on the Azure VM, but I still cannot find the port.

Answer 1

Are you running any application that listens the port 5124? If not, the port can't be seen in the open port list

Answer 2

Hi,

Do you have a program running on the VM that listens on port 5124? This is required for you to see a port listening when doing a netstat.

For example, I could create a .exe using Visual Studio and make it so it listens on TCP 5124, and when I run the exe you would see it using netstat. If I want someone to be able to connect to this port I would need to make sure that it is permitted in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and NSG inbound rules.
