If you have created an inbound request but are still unable to connect to your VM, there are a few things you can try:
- Check the network security group (NSG) associated with the VM: Make sure that the NSG associated with the VM allows inbound traffic on the port you are trying to connect to. You can do this in the Azure portal by navigating to the NSG and checking the inbound security rules.
- Check the public IP address associated with the VM: Make sure that the public IP address associated with the VM is correct and is still valid. You can do this in the Azure portal by navigating to the VM and checking the networking settings.
- Check the firewall on the VM: Make sure that the firewall on the VM is not blocking the inbound traffic on the port you are trying to connect to. You can do this by logging into the VM and checking the Windows Firewall settings.
- Check the RDP settings on the VM: Make sure that Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is enabled on the VM and that the correct users are allowed to connect. You can do this by logging into the VM and checking the RDP settings.
- Check the status of the VM: Make sure that the VM is running and is not in a stopped or deallocated state. You can do this in the Azure portal by navigating to the VM and checking the status.
- Try resetting the network interface: Try resetting the network interface on the VM by stopping and starting the VM. You can do this in the Azure portal by navigating to the VM and clicking on the Stop button, followed by the Start button.
