1.4 Enable Cloud Server access from machines outside the security group

By default, Cloud Servers are created with all ports closed allowing access only to machines within the same security group or via the recovery console.

To access the Cloud Server (via RDP or SSH) from machines outside its security group, follow these steps:

make sure that the Cloud Server has an Elastic IP assigned;
sign in to the security group of the VPC Network that you have associated with the Cloud Server;

create a new inbound rule with the following features, depending on the Cloud Server's operating system:

		Windows (RDP)	Linux (SSH)
Protocol		TCP	TCP
Port		Custom	Custom
Enter a range of ports	From	3389	22
Enter a range of ports	To	3389	22
Source type		IP address	IP address
Source		Custom IP address or 0.0.0.0/0 ^[1]	Custom IP address or 0.0.0.0/0 ^[1]

1. By selecting 0.0.0.0/0 you will open access to all IP addresses.
