Azure newbie here

[grand mortar]

I have a VM set up on Azure, and despite having HTTP(80) port and HTTP(443) port allowed, I cant seem to be able to access the nodejs app I have deployed there, what could be the issue?

[main marsh]

you'll need to provide more info. how are you testing this, where have you tried to test it from? what config have you applied, and how?

I am just getting access to view the inbound/outbound rules. But so far i am trying to access a page that should be displayed on 3000
so i am trying to access it via VM_PUBLIC_IP:3000, which i hope is the right way.

the app is running as it is a chatbot on discord and it runs alright, i just added one page on "/" that displays "Yes it works" and i cant see it

"having HTTP(80) port and HTTP(443) port allowed" ... "trying to access a page that should be displayed on 3000"

have you tried allowing port 3000 in the rules???

[grand mortar]

Yes sir

inbound rule assuming 8085 is where i have my app hosted

outbound rule

Sorry it took me so long

I was trying to get access to this networking tab

This is for the VM-NSG

Currently running the app on 8085 and yea i cant access any of the pages the app should display

Any suggestions?

@main marsh Sorry if this ping disturbed you, I am a little anxious to get this up and running.

[main marsh]

ok, so inbouind rule must be Source *
destination 8085
and outbound needs to be source 8085 destination *

Ill edit real soon, why didnt i get notifs for this ;-;

inbound as such?

outbound like this?

i dont need to change the service right?

[main marsh]

service is fine

[grand mortar]

Okay so ill forward this setting to my manager

@main marsh do i need an outbound rule? will having one conflict with the inbound rule?

[main marsh]

you dont NEED outbound, unless you plan to add a deny to restrict outbound traffic to only that port

So having that wont hamper the requests I hope, Its just something they added for future use
