Azure DNS: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED after configuring domain name

Question

Hello, I am a student learning Azure services. I recently set up my domain name with Azure DNS and resolved a subdomain to my Azure VM IP's IIS service. However, when trying to access the website, my browser prompts ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I have ensured that my domain name is added in my IIS settings and that my IIS is running a WordPress site. What configuration could be causing this issue?
