From my machine I am able to connect Azure SQL DB using SQL Server Studio and microsoft libraries. However, When I use a replication software along with the driver provided by the replication software, it fails stating that "port 1433 is not accessible"? Same is the case with another 3rd pary connectivity driver. I have entered my machines's IP in firewall rule. not able to figure out what else need to be modified / configured for this connection to happen? appreciate the help in advance. Thanks,

Azure SQL Database

    Maybe that software is not compatible with Azure or it has issues with the setting required to connect Azure SQL. Make sure the replication software allows you to configure the connection string to set Encrypt Connection to Yes and to set Trust Server Certificate to Yes.

    Azure offers a free tool named Azure SQL Data Sync that may be more easy to use and set for you.

    Another great tool on the market is SymmetricDS.
