Basically - the task I want to complete is "Backups to Azure using MARS agent for servers". My server sits behind a Cisco ASA firewall and I have created a rule to allow access to Microsoft and Azure using the necessary URLs, IP addresses and service ports as per Microsoft documentation but no joy.

However, on removing any IP and port restriction to allow my server unrestricted access to the internet to any destination...things starts working? Is there something am missing here?

Any support or help will be very much appreciated.
