#*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 [http://ipv4.icanhazip.com 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 [https://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr this tool] for determining a CIDR IP range from an IP range or learn more about CIDR notation [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#CIDR_notation here]. | #*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.

#*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 want to add a new rule while connecting, for example, from home. | #*It can be helpful to add a description about what a security rule is for (e.g. home or office).
