#It is a good security practice to replace the <code>0.0.0.0/0</code> in the CIDR text box with <code><your-ip>/32</code>. <p>If you don't know your current IP address you can see it by going to [http://ipv4.icanhazip.com ipv4.icanhazip.com] in your browser.</p><p>Leaving the <code>0.0.0.0/0</code> will allow anyone to attempt a connection with your VM via SSH. The suggested replacement will restrict SSH access to your VM only from this IP. If you want to allow SSH access from other IPs you can add additional SSH rules with different IP address or you can specify a range of IP addresses by using [https://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr this tool] to calculate your CIDR rule from a range of IP addresses.</p>
