I recently installed Norton Antivirus on my Azure VM. As soon as I did, I lost my RDP connection. Now I'm not able to RDP into my VM. I saw this message in my portal:
So I took a look at my inbound rules and saw the following:
I'm not exactly sure how to read this. Is the DenyAllInBound rule preventing me from connecting to my VM? If so, I didn't add this. Something added it and I cannot remove it. Can someone suggest what I need to do to fix this connection issue?
The deny all rule is not something you can remove. It is also the highest rated rule which means it will be applied after all other rules. So looking at your NSG configuration you do have it setup correctly.
Seeing as you had access to your VM and after installing Norton you do not, it is safe to assume Norton is the issue. From past experience it is likely that Norton modified the firewall rules inside the VM which is not blocking traffic.
Start with this doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-rdp-connection
It goes over the basic steps to start troubleshooting RDP issues.
If Norton is the cause, you will likely want to look into this doc which uses serial console to correct the RDP keys inside the VM
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-rdp-general-error
I had this same problem and seen you post this. I just fixed mine and thought it might help you as well. I was trying all types of different things but Going into your RDP Rule try changing the source port range to something different. When I changed mine to a * instead of putting numbers it actually worked and I was able to get in. Took me forever to figure that out. However I am running a linux Vm with ubuntu.

I decided to try to run Cloud9 on an ARM server ("Graviton"). I created an EC2 t4g.medium instance and a key, made sure I could SSH into it as expected (no problem), and then created a Cloud9 SSH environment. It mostly seemed to install without issue aside from a mild complaint about Sqlite. When I opened the IDE, it was perfect. Terminals worked as expected, files saved, autoformatter autoformatted and the world was good.
Every subsequent time I have opened the IDE, however, it has just given me a loading spinner. After a lot of Googling I noted that this pattern has been seen before. I tried installing tmux, but that had no effect. See screenshot:
screenshot of cloud9 error message and spinning terminal
According to this document, graviton isn't officially supported: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/ssh-settings.html#ssh-settings-requirements. Other things that might cause it to fail are if the instance isn't publicly accessible on the internet (ie on the public subset with port 22 open, or connectable through a jump host). Also, you'll probably want a security group that only allows traffic from Cloud9; see here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/ip-ranges.html.
Additionally, I found the Cloud9 installer doesn't mention needing to install gcc-c++ in addition to gcc.
Because I don't want my machine on the public subnet, I'm giving up and waiting until this is supported. But I hope this might give you some useful information.
Everyday I log into my SSH session of a Google Cloud VM I maintain (Debian).
Since a week ago, I noticed my performance was lagging as I typed into the VM or when doing something else. I mostly login into this VM to check log files of scheduled scripts I have, and even when I use "cat script.log", what used to take less than 2 seconds now takes at least 5 or 7 seconds, loading the log text.
Pinging different websites bring me an reasonable 10 - 15 ms. I'm pretty sure it's not about my local connection either, everything else I do works fine in my local computer.
A warning started to appear now into my session, saying
"Please consider adding the IAP-secured Tunnel User IAM role to start using Cloud IAP for TCP forwarding for better performance. Learn more Dismiss"
I've already configured the IAP secured tunnel to my account, which is the owner account of GCP project.
Another coworker of mine is being able to access the VM without any performance issues whatsoever.
Your issue is in my opinion with the ISP. For some reason the SSH sessions are lagging.
That's why even other computers using your home ISP lag SSH sessions too. If that was firewall rule interfering you wouldn't be able to connect at all.
You may try to reset all the network hardware in your home and if that doesn't help
run tracert command in windows shell and then contact your ISP and pass your findings. It's possible it's something on their end (and if not maybe their's ISP etc).
To solve the problem you need to add "IAP-secured Tunnel User" at the project level in IAM for that user.IAP-secured Tunnel User + See instructions here in a blog I wrote about this. That should solve your problem.
I have problem signing into Microsoft account from my local account on my machine. This used to be my work laptop I have bought it after I left company. I could sign in on my domain user without any problems. Since I left domain I lost this account.
I am trying to "Sign in with Microsoft account instead" option in Accounts->Your info. After I enter my Microsoft account credentials and insert my local user password I get message "Oops something went wrong. Whatever happen it was probably our fault". Good one Microsoft.
Also similarly when I try to add account to Calendar app I end up with same problem, but here I got more information: "You will need the internet for this. It doesn't look like you're connected to the internet. Check your connection and try again. 0x800704cf". This led me to check Network troubleshooter and this error came up:
Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or
resource (www.microsoft.com) is not responding
Contact your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)
Completed Windows can't communicate with the device or resource
(www.microsoft.com). The computer or service you are trying to reach
might be temporarily unavailable.
I have tried many ways how to fix this. (Flush DNS, reboot router etc..), but I am pretty sure that my problem is not with my internet connection. It works perfectly fine, also note that I was able to check this with 2 internet providers with same result. Also another thing is, that this works perfectly fine with other devices in our household.
For me it looks like system don't see microsoft.com. Only thing I am able to work with is One drive.
I am pretty sure I would be able to fix this by resetting Windows 10, but I don't want to loose my installed programs (and licenses).
Any advice will be appreciated. I really ran out of options.
After doing many many thing, only thing that helped was resetting PC. It always does help.
I have been testing out a ubuntu instance on GCS for the last couple weeks and a possible home for one of our web servers. Last week suddenly everything stopped working. I was not able to SSH to shell, and I couldn't even visit the site anymore through my browser. I logged into the dashboard and nothing seemed wrong. I had several other colleges try to go to the site and it loaded without any issues. I could not find any settings in the dashboard that would suggest some kind of block like this, so i assumed I must have triggered some kind of anti spam system. I decided to give a few days before trying to mess with it any further. after 6 days of not messing with it at all I still can not visit the site, or login via SSH.
Then to verify they are blocking my IP address and that it wasn't just something wrong with my machine. I switched my IP and then everything started behaving as expected once again. I can get to the site in my browser and can once again SSH into the VM. After switching back to my previous static IP everything went back to not letting me view the webpage, or ssh into the server.
My problem is that this isn't a permanent solution for me. I have many servers that only allow login from my previous IP address so I'd rather fix the issue with this VM rather then change all those system to allow from a new IP address. Any help on finding the solution would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional info to help find the problem.
followup info:
The way our network is set up the IP we get from DHCP is the real world IP our device is seen with (I think we own a block or something)
this is the first time i've done anything with a GCS VM
Edit: added additional information
tldr; This question was to get help setting up Micro Cloud Foundry on Windows XP behind a corporate firewall as an innovation-demonstration project for a Fortune 500 IT departent. Basically, the project stalled, despite this stackoverflow page - the magic wasn't strong enough. I am accepting #DanHigman answer below, but if anyone sees this and can provide a simple straight-forward answer, by all means...
Can anyone provide a clear step-by-step on setting up MCF on a Windows (XP in my case) machine behind a corporate firewall, for demostrating the feasibility of PaaS in the corporate IT world?
My VM is installed and running and I can use the menu ok. I have vmc working. I have a test Node.js server app, that works on local, ready to push. But I can't get past that stage.
The firewall gave me trouble so I lowered my goal to just work offline. I followed the instructions noted below as best I could, but often the instructions are mac oriented - I would like them for a Windows command line (especially SSH tunneling):
http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/2011/09/08/working-offline-with-micro-cloud-foundry/
http://support.cloudfoundry.com/entries/20332921-micro-cloud-foundry-trouble-shooting-help
This blogger may have half-way covered my problem doing the SSH tunnel settings, but all it gives is "use Putty" - more detail would help:
http://support.cloudfoundry.com/entries/20419943-using-micro-cloud-locally
Also, whenever the vmc obviously gets an error or other message, it only outputs the following in the command line:
vmc target http://api.vcap.me
<<<
[200, "<html><body>SNP/2.0/102/Unknown Command 'info'</body></html>\r\n\r\n", {}
]
>>>
Thanks for any help. BTW - I know I could do this on my mac, the big obstacle is the windows and firewall environment.
Update:
#Dan and #ebottard: Thanks to your help, I'm almost there. ping is working now, hosts file seems right, but the vmc target api.vcap.me still does not find the VM at that 192.168.253.128 IP - even tho ping does. In the first link above, Martin wrote the following, but assuming we are doing it on a mac:
After the update is complete, you will need to make some changes on your local system. What you will need to do is to set up an SSH tunnel to access your Micro Cloud Foundry VM (note that you will need to supply the IP address in the command below with the actual IP of your VM, which is displayed in the console).
sudo ssh -L 80:192.168.168.149:80 vcap#192.168.168.149
Password:
vcap#192.168.168.149's password:Â
The first password being prompted is the sudo password for your machine, as it is needed to open port 80 which requires root privileges. The second password is the vcap user password which you entered during the initial configuration of your Micro Cloud Foundry.
I need to have these instructions translated into Windows, and all I have to go on is that I might use puTTy (which I have downloaded) to do it. Any more ideas?
Looks like you're running an application on your Windows machine called "Snarl" (a poor Windows-based clone of the OS 10 app Growl :-p). It looks like it's interfering with communication to the MCF intstance, close it and have another try.
