I am trying to rdp from my local mac to an Azure instance through a (IKEv2) vpn connection. I am never prompted for a password, and it looks like the connection just times out. The error code I get is 0x204.
I have tried using both Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 and 10 for mac.
The connection is active and reports that it is connected.
From the mac, I can connect to another VM (in the same azure account) which is not running behind a vpn.
From Parallels Desktop (with networking set to Shared mode and the vpn connection active on the mac), I can successfully connect using the windows rdp client.
So it seems the Microsoft RDP-client for mac is not using the vpn connection.
Is there a way to make it do so?
Is there another solution, that will allow me to rdp to an Azure VM from my mac (without going through Parallels)?
Note: This is not the same question as this, since that is not about going through an azure vnet gateway.
I needed to add hosts file entries for each azure site I needed to access.
For example for accessing my-vm-name.someregion.cloudapp.azure.com, I needed to add a hosts file entry for it's private IP within the subnet. E.g. 10.2.0.100.
The reason everything worked in Windows under Parallels, is that the relevant entries had already been added to the hosts file previously.

Having created a Windows Azure VM and opened ports 3389 and 22 for inbound RDP and SSH connections, respectively.
I can successfully connect to the vm via RDP from a remote Windows PC.
Testing SSH connection in the Portal succeeds. However trying to connect from a remote Linux VM using SSH fails.
Given that SSH connection test within the portal succeeds, it suggests that (1) it is possible to SSH into a windows VM; and (2) there is no other config require on the server ie installing OpenSSH (or similar) / Copying over key file(s) to some location etc. However, the help steps in the Azure Portal for my Windows VM, for making remote SSH connections suggest that maybe a public key needs to exist on the server and that I need the private key on the LinuxVM I am trying to connect from.
Please could someone help me understand if ssh into windows Azure VM is possible and if so, the requirements / minimum set of steps (on the target Windows VM and the source Linux VM) I need to get to a state that I can successfully SSH.
Other posts re similar question posted have not helped me connect via ssh. I have not found a 'golden source of truth' on Microsoft docs. Maybe I missed it.
Thank you.
A Windows Server doesn’t typically come pre-built and ready to go with SSH access and it requires some setup. You can follow this to set up your Azure VM for SSH access. You can configure SSH on a Windows Azure VM for access, check out How to Set Up OpenSSH on a Windows Server. After deploying the OpenSSH, you can follow the steps about connect via SSH with client in the Azure portal on your Linux client to access that Windows VM via SSH.
Scenario:
Windows 10 Virtual Machine hosted using Parallels on MacOS Catalina
Azure VPN - Basic SKU
Shared Network setup using Parallels
I can successfully connect to the Azure VPN using a Point-to-site connection from the Windows 10 installation.
Problem: I would like to use the VPN connection (established by Windows 10 VM) with macOS Host. Is this possible?
I have tried adding a static route on Mac OS as below, where 10.200.0.0/16 is the Azure Network CIDR, and 10.211.55.6 is the IP address of the Windows 10 VM on Parallels.
sudo route add -net 10.200.0.0/16 10.211.55.6
But this does not work. Any suggestions, or is there no way to share the VPN connection even with custom routing configuration?
Note. I understand that you can connect to Azure VPN from MacOS using the Standard SKU of Azure VPN, but would like to see if it is possible without.
I'm trying to reach a TFS server (either via VS2015 or Web) from my Windows 10 dev box with no luck. I keep getting timeout error
This server is on a remote network that I access via VPN.
I've tried on different Win10 boxes, and it is the same problem.
People in the local network (no vpn) also tried on Windows 10 with no luck
If I access the server on a Windows 7 dev box, everything is OK.
I am able to access a different TFS server (located on my domain network) correctly; same port and protocol.
I disabled the computer firewall
Any clue?
Try to use the IP Address such as http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8080/tfs instead of http://compandyname:8080/tfs
I have a small server app, which receives UDP data on port X. When I run this app with a local logged in user account, all is fine and my app receives commands via UDP. But when I'm installing the app as a windows service which runs under same local user account, I'm not longer receiving data, when I try to connect from a different machine. Local connections are fine. I've also opened my UDP port X in the windows firewall settings, but with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Only for the sake of completeness:
It has been found that it has something to do with the virtual machine in which the Windows runs. I use a network bridge to connect it to my local network. After adding a host-only network adapter, my windows service received all expected commands. No idea why!?
I have a virtual machine on VMWare Workstation with Windows Server 2008 R2.
There are some not admin users. They have to have an internet access for theirs work (for example, to use SVN, Maven and so on). But at the same time, I have to close access to the Network for them.
What i have already tried:
I've tried to turn off network discovery in Network and Sharing Center. But it disables network only via gui(explorer), so users still can access other devices like that \\SOME_MACHINE_PC. More then that, users (which are even not admins) can change back this option in Control Panel.
I've tried to edit registry, adding such configuration:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
"NoEntireNetwork "=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoNetHood"=dword:00000001
But it have not changed anything at all.
I've tried to change Network Adapter config in WMware to Host-only: A private network shared with the host.
But this turns off internet.
So, is there any other variants?
You can create an extra subnet for the VM, and don't route from this subnet to the company network.Then you can access the VM via the Host System (I am doing it via vnc). When the VM doesn't need access to the host network, it should work.
If the VM needs access to the company lan:
You could create a second VM for the internet only use, and use the existing VM for its current purpose.
