How to browse container data from my SAW?

Question

We have a Torus managed subscription which is naturally accessible only from SAW machines. We have a Storage account as part of it and we would like to view the blob data in the storage account.

We have enabled public network access to the storage account -

And I have obtained the following roles -

When I click on any container in the storage account , I see this error -

And troubleshooting gives me this -

The root cause, I believe, is that the blob endpoint is not accessible from my SAW machine (whereas it is accessible from a regular machine). Using Azure Storage Explorer doesn't help either.

How do we work around the SAW restrictions to be able to view the data?

@Surya Ravichandran Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Based on your error message there is a similar thread discussion in SO Forum, Please refer to the suggestion and let me know the status of the issue
Network request failed - cannot access storage endpoint (Blob Storage) in AzureAdditional information:

Try to use a VPN to connect to the network where the storage account is accessible. This might help bypass the SAW restrictions.

Azure Bastion: Azure Bastion provides secure and seamless RDP and SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly in the Azure portal over SSL. You can use Azure Bastion to connect to a VM that has access to the storage account.

Service Endpoint or Private Endpoint: Ensure that the storage account is configured with a service endpoint or a private endpoint that allows access from your SAW machine's network.

If the issue still persists, try to capture a browser trace for troubleshooting
