I got a question today from a customer… “Could you show me how to add IPs to the whitelist for our FnO Dev Mashines?”.. Here Goes

1. Log in to the Azure Portal
2. Find the Azure VM that you would like to change
3. Go to Network Settings and locate the rdp-rule
   
   
   
4. Open the rule and add your IP adress to the “Source IP addresses/CIDR ranges” field. You you have more than one IP, add a comma between the IPs.
   
   
   
5. Click Save

Protecting your Dev VMs are important for a couple of reasons… The most important being that there are search engines on the internet that indexes RDP endpoints available to the Internet and if your VM is in that database, bad guys will start to try to break into them… and even if they might not succeed (LCS generates fairly good credentials) it will trigger a policy that will make the VM unavailable for logins for a while which, if nothing else, will stop your developers from doing their job.
