Hi Saurabh, Here are the new setup of instructions without opening ports to public. Can you please try and see if this helps ? Port Forwarding To Azure Sandbox on Linux When you deploy virtual machines on Azure, a good practice is to set up Azure Network Security Groups (NSG) to minimize the exposure of endpoints and limit access to those endpoints to only known IPs from the Internet. In order to access the rest of the endpoints in your Virtual Network (VNet) on Azure, you can set up a SSH tunnel. SSH tunnel is a familiar concept for Linux users. You can follow these steps to access the endpoints in Azure VNet from your laptop or desktop. Step 1: In Azure portal, navigate to the VM that you want to tunnel into and copy its public IP or DNS from the Overview blade. Step 2: Find the SSH port for the VM. This is typically port 22. But you can verify it by opening Network interfaces blade of the VM, click on the network interface, then Network security group. Click on the network security group in the blade, and find the inbound security rule of the network security group: Step 3: Open a terminal and edit your ~/.ssh/config file: Enter the following replacing the HostName IP with the public IP of your instance . More forwardings can be entered via the LocalForward directive similar to the ones exampled here: This will allow you to access the remote ports via opening a browser and accessing http://localhost:#port-numberafter connecting to the machine. Step 4: Initiate a SSH connection to the machine by typing the command: Step 5: You can now access all the forwarded ports you declared by pointing the browser to localhost:#port-number for example: localhost:8080 will connect to the azure machine on port 8080.
