  2. Select Inbound security rules.

  3. Click Add then create a new rule using the following details leaving everything else at default:
    • Destination port ranges: 80
    • Name: AllowHTTP

    Click Add to create the rule.

  4. Go back to your Resource group and select your Public IP address. On the Overview blade it should show it’s fully qualified domain name in the structure of <instance-level pip DNS name>.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com. There should be a small copy icon next to it. Click it.
