I am experiencing issues connecting to my Azure Virtual Machine (trappusvm) using SSH and RDP. The VM is running Windows Server 2022 Datacenter with a Public IP of 20.161.25.20, and I’ve configured NSG inbound rules to allow traffic on ports 22 (SSH) and 3389 (RDP).
Despite this, I cannot establish a connection from my iPad (using the Termius app for SSH). The connection consistently fails with a timeout error. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Rebooted the virtual machine
- Verified the NSG inbound rules
- Checked the VM’s status, which shows as running in the portal
Thank You

you've taken some solid steps to troubleshoot your connection issue. Here are a few additional things to check:Public IP Configuration: Ensure that the public IP address is correctly associated with your VM.
Firewall Settings: Verify that the Windows Firewall on the VM allows inbound traffic on ports 22 and 3389.
Network Security Group (NSG): Double-check that the NSG rules are properly applied to the correct network interface or subnet.
Connection Method: Try using a different device or a different SSH/RDP client to rule out app-specific issues.
VM Extensions: If possible, check for any VM extensions or configurations that might be blocking access.
If the issue persists, you may want to check the Azure Activity Log for any alerts or issues related to the VM.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.
I don't believe ssh is setup by default for windows. you want to establish the connection then go through the steps provided in the documentation. OpenSSH for Windows.
If you have any further queries, do let us know.
