1. Assign a Public IP Address
   • Ensure you are still viewing the Instances list where you were redirected as your VM launched. If you need to use the navigation panel on the left hand side and go to Compute -> Instances.
   • Click the drop down arrow menu on the far right of the row for your VM and select Associate Floating IP from the drop-down menu button (indicated by ▼).
   • If this is your first time associating a floating IP, you need to click on the “+” sign in the IP Address dialog box. If you need to allocate a public IP address for this VM again in the future you can select one from the list by clicking the ▼ in the IP Address dialogue box.
   • Click on the Associate button.
   • You should now have two IP address in your IP address column. One will be of the form 192.168.X.Y, the other one is your public IP. You can also find a list of your public IP addresses and their associated projects by going to Network->Floating IPs. You will need your public IP when you are trying to connect to your VM.
2. Configure Firewall
   • Using the left navigation pane go to Network->Security Groups.
   • On the group row named default, click the on the far right.
   • On the next screen, click near the top right corner.
   • In the Rules drop-down menu select SSH
   • The Remote Text box should automatically have CIDR in it, Do not change this.
   • In the CIDR dialogue box replace the 0.0.0.0/0 in the CIDR text box with your-ip/32. Note that this is the IP address of the physical computer you are wanting to use to connect to your VM. If you don't know your current IP address you can see it by going to ipv4.icanhazip.com in your browser. If you want to access your VM from other IPs you can add more rules with different IP addresses. If you want to specify a range of IP addresses use this tool to calculate your CIDR rule for a range of IP addresses.
   • Finally, click the Add button. Now the rule you just created should show up on the list in security groups.
3. Important Notes
   • Do not remove the default security rules as this will affect the ability of your VM to function properly (see security groups).
   • Security rules cannot be edited, they can only be deleted and re-added.So if you make a mistake when creating a security group rule you need to delete it using the Delete This button on the far left of the row for that rule in the security groups screen, and then re-add it correctly from scratch using the Add Rule button.
   • If you change your network location (and therefore your IP address) then you need to add the security rule described in this section for that new IP address. Remember that when you change your physical location (example working on-campus vs working from home) you are changing your network location.
   • If you do not have a static IP address for the network you are using remember that it can sometimes change, so if you can no longer connect to your VM after a period of time sometimes it's worth checking to see if your IP address has changed. You can do this by putting ipv4.icanhazip.com in your browser and seeing if it matches what you have in your security rule. If your IP address changes frequently, but the left-most numbers always stay the same, it could make more sense to add a range of IP addresses rather than frequently modifying your security rules. Use this tool for determining a CIDR IP range from an IP range or learn more about CIDR notation here.
   • It can be helpful to add a description about what a security rule is for, e.g. home or office. That way you will know which rule is no longer needed if you need to add a new rule while connecting, for example, from home.
