Exercise - Configure network access

Question

In Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services

Exercise - Configure network access

does not work for me.

When I run:
curl --connect-timeout 5 http://$IPADDRESS
alter having update the NSG rules, I still get:

curl: (28) Failed to connect to 40.112.184.134 port 80 after 5003 ms: Timeout was reached

Is it possible that my companies proxy or firewall is preventing me from reaching the IP address and port?
Is there a way to check the VM is running properly?

(e.g. ssh to the VM and run the curl command locally)
