Step 1: Set Up Your VM
Provision a VM: Ensure you have a VM provisioned and running. This can be on a cloud platform like Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, or on your local network using software like VirtualBox.
Configure Network Settings: Ensure your VM has a public IP address if it’s hosted in the cloud. This is necessary for external access
Once the virtual machine has been deployed successfully.
Create a New NSG:
Click on + Create to start the creation process.
Subscription: Select the appropriate subscription.
Resource Group: Choose an existing resource group or create a new one.
Name: Give your NSG a unique name.
Region: Select the region where your VM is located.
Click Review + create, then Create.
: Configure Inbound Security Rules
Add Inbound Rules:
In your NSG, go to Settings > Inbound security rules.
Click + Add to create a new rule.
Source: Specify the source IP or range (e.g., * for all IPs).
Source port ranges: Usually, you can leave this as *.
Destination: Select Any or specify an IP address or range.
Destination port ranges: Specify the port number (e.g., 3389 for RDP).
Protocol: Choose TCP, UDP, or Any.
Action: Select Allow or Deny.
Priority: Set the priority (lower numbers have higher priority).
Name: Give the rule a descriptive name
Configure Outbound Security Rules
Add Outbound Rules:
In your NSG, go to Settings > Outbound security rules.
Click + Add to create a new rule.
Follow similar steps as for inbound rules, specifying the necessary parameters.
Step 5: Review and Test
Review Rules: Make sure your security rules are correctly set up.
Test Connectivity: Verify that you can connect to your VM using RDP and that your other security rules are functioning as expected
Open the RDP Client
Windows: Use the built-in Remote Desktop Connection app.
Mac: Use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app.
Linux: Use tools like Remmina or rdesktop.
Step 4: Enter the IP Address
In your RDP client, enter the public IP address,Name & Password of your VM
Step 5: Connect and Log In
Click the Connect button. You will be prompted to enter the username and password for your VM1.
Click Yes to verify the identity of the remote computer.
Step 6: Use Your VM
Once logged in, you’ll see the VM’s desktop, and you can use it as if you were sitting in front of it
Additional Tips for Security
Use a VPN: To ensure secure access, consider using a VPN to encrypt your connection.
Enable Firewall: Ensure your VM’s firewall is configured to allow RDP traffic on port 3389.
Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on your network traffic for any unusual activity.
