title: Make a SharePoint Azure VM accessible over the internet
body: <p>I have a SharePoint 2016 server built in Azure.</p>
  
  <p>The server has an public IP address of 13.74.185.68 and a DNS name of termsetsp2016.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com</p>
  
  <p>I can RDP to this address but not ping it.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use the DNS address to connect to the root SharePoint site over the internet (80).</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I tried:</p>
  
  <p>(1) Added an inbound security rule to permit Port 80 traffic in the Azure manager</p>
  
  <p>(2) Added a binding in IIS  (SharePoint 80 to the external DNS name)</p>
  
  <p>(3) Added a AAM for the Internet zone pointing to the external DNS name</p>

  <p>This isn't working (it just times out).  Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciate.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
